Koko and Kauakahi founded the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau with Skippy Kamakawiwo'ole , Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and Sam Gray in 1976. Gray left in 1977, and there had been several other changes in the lineup by the time Skippy died Oct. 1, 1982. (The group dropped "of Ni'ihau" after Israel left in 1993.) The Sons present their fourth annual "Take a Walk in the Country" concert June 17 in the Blaisdell Arena.
