Ka ʻAnoʻi (English: The Desire) is the debut album by Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. [2]
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.
