Kamakawiwo’ole: Faces from his future look back
HONOLULU -- It has been almost 13 years since Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s death and the man and album that remain the foundation of his enduring legacy are the subjects of a new biography of both. Written for Continuum’s 33 1/3 series of music books by cultural freelance writer Dan Kois, Facing Future the book is a short non-comprehensive read of 170 pages documenting the making of the now legendary CD and how there is indeed a very fine line between aggressive marketing and exploitation.
