Somewhere Over The Rainbow  (Music, Audio CD)

'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' collects some of Hawaiian ukulele player Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's most famous songs. His reworking of 'Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World' propelled Kamakawiwo'ole into the public eye after appearing on numerous film and television soundtracks. The album features his unique covers as well as a selection of traditional Hawaiian songs. Available for the first time ever, the definitive collection of Hawaiian music legend -- the gentle giant behind the world-renowned version of Over The Rainbow, one of the most recognised songs of the last twenty years. Over a decade after his death, his unforgettable music and legacy are captured here in these beautiful renditions of What A Wonderful World and Wind Beneath My Wings alongside traditional Hawaiian melodies on this truly breathtaking new album.
