Facing Future is the second album by Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, released in 1993. The best-selling album of all time by a Hawaiian artist, Facing Future combines traditional Hawaiian-language songs, hapa-haole songs with traditional instrumentation, Jawaiian and pop music. The album's sales have been driven not only by its popularity with Hawaiian audiences but by its popularity in the mainland United States and around the world, particularly the track "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World", which has been used in various films, television shows and commercials. Facing Future reached platinum status in 2005. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facing_...) under Creative Commons Attribution CC-BY-SA 3.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...)
