The Makaha Sons has their roots in the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau, the seminal Hawaiian group of the mid-70's that championed traditional Hawaiian music. They became simply the Makaha Sons after band member Israel Kamakawiwo'ole left to pursue a solo career. They have since blossomed into one of the most popular, sought-after recording and performing acts in Hawai'i. The Makaha Sons have piled up thousands of frequent flyer miles, bringing a taste of Hawai'i to Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, New York, Texas, Washington, Japan and Tahiti. These passionate ambassadors of Hawaiian music also bring gifts of dance, laughter and reminders of Hawai'i.
