In the 1970's, Roland Cazimero was instrumental in the resurgence of Hawaiian music and culture. That resurgence began a career that almost thirty years later is stronger than ever. Musician and composer...his work in these areas is well-known throughout the world.
His incomparable talent on guitar and string bass are unsurpassed, and are utilized when he performs solo on guitar or with his brother, Robert as The Brothers Cazimero. Recording has played an important part of Roland's career, and he has collectively (as The Brothers Cazimero) and individually released over thirty albums over the past two decades. The success of these recording projects can easily be measured by the fact that they all remain on the market. Fans of Roland and The Brothers Cazimero boast of a complete collection of CDs and tapes. Not only do residents of Hawai'i find that this music has magical qualities, but visitors to these islands will take home multiple copies to use for relaxation as they get back in everyday routines, give to friends and relatives and as living souvenirs of their vacation to this island paradise.
National television credits include the Today show, PM Magazine, Good Morning America, Real People, Jim Nabors Special from Hawai'i, the Miss America Pageant and the Dolly Parton TV special from Hawai'i.
A prolific composer, many of Roland's compositions (such as "Proud To Be", "I'a Stew", "Destiny" and "A Christmas Wish") have become classics and been performed by numerous musicians.
Hawai'i's popularity as a vacation destination has brought Hawaiian music beyond her shores and the popularity of this ethnic brand of music has allowed Roland to perform in locales such as Carnegie Hall in New York City, the World Expo in Brisbane, Australia, Hong Kong, Tokyo; and annually in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Seattle to sell out crowds.
The many talents of Roland Cazimero have established him as a benchmark in Hawaiian music and culture.
