Ka ʻAnoʻi (English: The Desire) is the debut album by Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.[2]
Production
[edit]The album includes an upbeat Jawaiian version of Kamakawiwoʻole's popular medley blending "Over the Rainbow" with "What a Wonderful World".[3] This version differs from the highly regarded acoustic rendition, which had been recorded in one take in 1988.[4][5] The acoustic recording "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" went unreleased prior to the 1993 album Facing Future.
