The two had choreographed a dance routine to the song and were able to join the guys on stage during a recital on Father's Day. A chicken-skin moment for sure ...
From the "Blink and You Missed It" file: The Brothers Cazimero joined the growing list of Hawaii musicians showing up on television screens last night when their song "Na 'Ale O Ni'ihau" was used on the MTV reality-based show "Sorority Life." The track could be heard about 15 minutes into the hourlong show, which follows a group of women as they go through the sorority rush process at college.
If you missed it, "Sorority Life" repeats Sunday on MTV. The show gets split into two 30-minute chunks, so check program listings for the exact start time. I wonder what Robert and Roland Cazimero thought when they were told one of their songs would be associated with college coeds ...
