The Brothers Cazimero are a Hawaiian musical duo made up of Robert Cazimero on bass and Roland Cazimero on twelve string guitar. Robert also plays piano and both brothers are vocalists. Their parents were entertainers who gave their children their musical start performing at various military clubs and installations around Oahu.

 

The Cazimeros gained recognition during the Hawaiian Renaissance with ukulele and slack-key guitarist Peter Moon.  Their band called Sunday Manoa, was introduced to the public through their record breaking album called, Guava Jam. Since then, The Brothers Cazimero have released 36 + recordings and three DVDs. For three decades, the group performed at the annual Lei Day Concertas well as hosting an annual Mother’s Day concert at the royal Hawaiian hotel. They made their Carnegie Hall debut in 1989.

 

The Hawai'i Academy of Recording Arts (HARA) has honored the Cazimeros with 25 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards. Robert and Roland have also received individual Hōkū Awards as solo artists. The Cazimeros' album Some Call It Aloha...Don't Tell was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album in 2005. In 2006, they were inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame.
