The Mākaha Sons of Ni'ihau are a Hawaiian musical group formed in 1976 on the island of Oahu by Jerome Koko, Louis "Moon" Kauakahi, Skippy Kamakawiwo'ole, Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, and Sam Gray. The band started its career as an opening act at a small nightclub called Uptown Yokos. The group has reorganized several times, with some members seeking other professional careers. After the deaths of the Kamakawiwoʻole brothers Skippy and Israel, the remaining members dropped the "of Niihau" and became The Makaha Sons.
The Mākaha Sons of Niihau and the Makaha Sons have released 21 CDs, and produced a DVD on their own record label. They have won Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards and Hawaii Music Awards.
