Robert also plays piano as a solo musician. The Cazimeros got their start during the Hawaiian Renaissance with ukulele and slack-key guitarist Peter Moon's band, The Sunday Manoa, on their first recording, Guava Jam. Since that time, The Brothers Cazimero have released at least 36 recordings and three DVDs. For three decades, the group performed at the annual Lei Day Concert. 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.
In 1991, Roland joined Henry Kapono Kaʻaihue, Israel "Iz" Kamakawiwo'ole and Cyril Pahinui in recording "Broken Promise", a Hawaiian mele ku'e (song of protest) written by Kaaihue. The project won two Hōkū Awards -- "Song of the Year" and "Single of the Year"—in 1992.
Robert Cazimero was also a kumu hula (teacher of hula) for the hālau hula (a contemporary translation is "hula school") Hālau Nā Kamalei o Lililehua. Members of the hālau have often performed with Robert and Roland as dancers and as a choral group. The Brothers are featured (with 3 songs) on the audio track for the Over Hawaii documentary which was broadcast on public television stations in 2012.
Leina'ala Kalama Heine, a kuma hula, performed as a solo dancer with the Brothers Cazimero, a distinct honor in hula. She was sometimes called "the third brother" due to her professional relationship with the Cazimeros.
Roland Cazimero died at the age of 66 on July 16, 2017.

Kathleen Ma'e Ma'e Hall
on Me And My Teddy Bear
Who is this child that lays here before us? Who is his mother, who is his father?
Has he the right to total Perfection? Is He the answer to all our questions?
Will there be peace for us and our nation? Is He the one who'll give us salvation?
Shall we adore Him, Almighty God's Son? Babe of the Angels lasting devotion.
Look how He tempers all those around Him! Truly a gift from God, let us praise Him!
I hear it whispered that His name is Jesus.

The contrapuntal melody written by Stephen & Mary Desha to Silent Night
Who is this child that lays here before us?
Who is his mother, Who is his father?
Has he the right to total Perfection?
Is He the answer to all our Questions?
Will there be Peace for us and our nation?
Is He the one who’ll give us salvation?
Shall we adore Him, Almighty God’s Son?
Babe of the Angels lasting devotion.
Look how He tempers all those around Him!
Truly a gift from God, let us praise Him!
I heard it whispered that His name is Jesus.
Verse one in Hawaiian...
Pô la`i ê, pô kamaha`o
Maluhia, mâlamalama
Ka makuahine aloha ê
Me ke keiki hemolele ê
Moe me ka maluhia lani
Moe me ka maluhia lani
