Greetings dear friends of YouHive. I want this initiative to be infinite, I think I would get old and I would not finish yet to continue participating, there are so many videos, so many songs, so much to talk about one of the artistic skills such as music, eye not just any music, good music. So I continue taking advantage of the initiative and today I bring you a music video with a gift of peace made music, I just tell you one thing if you have not known how to find peace around you, just listen to this song and holy remedy, literally or at least for me this song is peace, please I beg you to listen to it and feel it with all your heart.

Saludos estimados amigos de YouHive. Quiero que esta iniciativa sea infinita, creo que llegaria a envejecer y no terminaba aún de seguir participando, son tantos video, tantas canciones, tanto de que hablar referente a una de las destrezas artísticas como lo es la música, ojo no cualquier música, la buena música. Así que sigo aprovechando la iniciativa y hoy les traigo un video musical con un regalo de paz hecha música, solo te digo una cosa si no has conocido la forma de encontrar paz a tu alrededor, solo escucha esta canción y santo remedio, literalmente o al menos para mi esta canción es la paz, por favor te ruego que la escuches y la sientes de todo corazón.

Listening to “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in the voice of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole, or simply “Iz”, is like embracing the soul. His version not only transforms the song, it elevates it. With that soft ukulele and his unique voice, as big as his heart, he manages to convey a peace that few songs in life manage to give you no matter how many times you listen to it.

Escuchar “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” en la voz de Israel Kamakawiwo’ole, o simplemente “Iz”, es como abrazar el alma. Su versión no solo transforma la canción, la eleva. Con ese ukelele suave y su voz tan única, tan grande como su corazón, logra transmitir una paz que pocas canciones en la vida consiguen darte sin importar cuántas veces la escuches.

But who was Israel Kamakawiwo'ole? | ¿Pero quién fue Israel Kamakawiwo’ole?

Israel Kamakawiwo'ole was born in 1959 in Hawaii. He was more than a singer: he was a symbol for his people. He always fought for Hawaiian culture, for justice for his people, for keeping alive the essence of the island. He was loved not only for his music, but for his spirit: kind, generous, full of light. He suffered from morbid obesity at a very young age, something that seriously affected his health. In his last years, he needed oxygen to breathe. Even so, he continued singing, giving everything he could with his voice.

She passed away in 1997, only 38 years old. When she died, Hawaii stopped. His casket was taken to the State Capitol, and more than 10,000 people came to see him off. His ashes were scattered at sea, and his song could be heard as the sun went down.

Israel Kamakawiwo’ole nació en 1959 en Hawái. Fue más que un cantante: fue un símbolo para su pueblo. Peleó siempre por la cultura hawaiana, por la justicia para los suyos, por mantener viva la esencia de la isla. Era amado no solo por su música, sino por su espíritu: amable, generoso, lleno de luz. Padecía de obesidad mórbida desde muy joven, algo que afectó seriamente su salud. En sus últimos años, necesitaba oxígeno para respirar. Aun así, siguió cantando, dando todo lo que podía con su voz.

Falleció en 1997, con solo 38 años. Cuando murió, Hawái se detuvo. Su ataúd fue llevado al Capitolio estatal, y más de 10.000 personas fueron a despedirlo. Sus cenizas fueron esparcidas en el mar, y se escuchaba su canción mientras el sol caía.

When I heard about this singer and inquired about his history, I could not help but draw him, I want to show you the drawing I made at the time, the date can be seen at the bottom next to my signature, of all the ones I have done this is one of my favorites.

Cuando supe de este cantante e indague sobre su historia, no pude evitar dibujarlo, quiero mostrarles el dibujo que realice en su momento, la fecha la pueden evidenciar en la parte inferior junto a mi firma, de todos los que he realizado este es uno de mis favoritos.

Iz did not sing for the sake of singing, he sang from a sincere place, full of love for his land, for the people, for life. There is something in her voice that cannot be explained with words. It is sweet and melancholic at the same time. It is as if he already knew that his passage through the world would be brief, but that his voice would remain forever. What I like most about the way of making music of this great icon of the island of Hawaii is the natural, obviously starting from the fact that they are surrounded by nature, but most of all I mean to be surrounded by his people, it's like you live by the sea and you have a neighbor singer and he says "Come on everyone come out and sing, you are my people, I want you to sing with me" something so humble that is priceless.

Iz no cantaba por cantar, cantaba desde un lugar sincero, lleno de amor por su tierra, por la gente, por la vida. Hay algo en su voz que no se puede explicar con palabras. Es dulce y melancólica al mismo tiempo. Es como si él ya supiera que su paso por el mundo sería breve, pero que su voz quedaría para siempre. Lo que más me gusta de la forma de hacer música de este gran icono de la isla de Hawai es lo natural, obviamente partiendo de de que están rodeados de naturaleza, pero más que todo me refiero a estar rodeado de su gente, es como que vivas a la orilla del mar y tengas un vecino cantante y te diga "Vengan salgan todos y cantemos, ustedes son mi gente, quiero que canten conmigo" algo tan humilde que no tiene precio.

The video is not very professionally edited, but what I like is that it shows real fragments of some moments of the singer with his people and the beautiful atmosphere of the island that surrounds them. Every time I hear “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” in his voice, I feel that Iz is not completely gone. She is there, floating in the wind, reminding us that there is still beauty, that there are still dreams... and that hope is always worthwhile. Finally, I would like to highlight that last part of the video when they scatter his ashes in the sea, an emotional farewell from the people who truly loved him, literally the first time I saw that scene, tears came to my eyes.

El video no tiene una edicion muy profesional que digamos, pero lo que me gusta es que muestra fragmentos reales de algunos momentos del cantante junto a su gente y el hermoso ambiente de la isla que los rodea. Cada vez que escucho “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” en su voz, siento que Iz no se fue del todo. Está ahí, flotando en el viento, recordándonos que todavía hay belleza, que todavía hay sueños… y que la esperanza siempre vale la pena. Ya para culminar resalto esa ultima parte del video cuando esparcen sus cenizas en el mar, una emotiva despedida por parte de la gente que lo amo de verdad, literalmente la primera ves que vi esa escena se me salieron las lagrimas.

It is a real tragedy that people so young die, with so much potential and such a long way to go, 38 years old, it should be forbidden to die so young 😢 but he still managed to leave a mark on the Hawaiian culture 🙏

I know the song, but I did not know that this boy interpreted it, it is magical, very sweet in his voice! ❤️ Thank you for sharing good music!

The first time I saw the video I was very moved, it is a beautiful song with a message of hope. Very sad that he passed away in such a short time, he was a very loved man, literally an icon for the island.

It's such a beautiful song, with such beautiful lyrics about life... although the video is not of high quality, it shows fragments of real life and that's beautiful. I love that song. Thank you!

Es una canción tan hermosa, con una letra tan bella sobre la vida... si bien el video no es de alta calidad, muestra fragmentos de la vida real y eso es hermoso. Me encanta esa canción. Gracias!

Hello again friend. Of course this song is very nice, even relaxing, to listen to it is to feel peace and more when you know the story behind the song.

Hola nuevamente amiga. Claro esta cancion es muy bonita, incluso relajante, escucharla es sentir paz y más cuando sabes la historia detrás de la canción.

hahahahaha no maybe some other obese person like him but no, he already died. What he did complain about is that he left us that song to find some peace through music.

jajajaja no de pronto alguna otra persona obesa parecida pero no, el ya murio. Lo que si es quejo nos dejo esa cancion para encontrar un rato de paz a través de la música.
