Kaleohano - IZ

I refer you to this post on *Lady Margaret's curlers.* But the link (on her blog) that caught my eye was to this video...



The description below was written by the fellow who put the video on Youtube, MrSrabago.


if anyone is interested.. this was IZ's last live performance. The 3 who came up on stage to his right, was Moon (brother-in-law), to his left were members of the Makaha Sons (the Koko brothers). They were on no speaking terms since IZ's departure of the band and start of his solo career.

The Hawiian in the audience that was shedding tears that they kept panning to is Keali'i Reichel. This was a historic night in Hawaiian music as the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau finally reach reconciliation with braddah IZ.

I'm too young to remember this, but my pops, a Kanaka, 3rd generation, born and raised Lahaina says that this night was more memorable than his wedding night.
