The Kamakawiwo'ole family said: 'Having Google create a Doodle for his 61st birthday gives us all reason to again celebrate his life and impact on millions worldwide.'
Today's Google Doodle honors Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole on what would have been his 61st birthday and celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the U.S.
Kamakawiwo'ole was also known for his advocacy of Hawaii's values and culture and has been widely referred to as the"Voice of Hawaii." In his teens, the singer, his brother, and three friends formed The Mākaha Sons of Niʻihau and achieved popularity with 15 albums blending contemporary and traditional styles of music.
In the Doodle's caption, Google says:"But Israel is so much more than one song; with his band and successful solo career, he redefined popular Hawaiian music through his own unique style and spread his love for the islands around the world.
