Boston-based iLa Mawana presents their first studio album! Mastered at Lion & Fox Studios in DC, the 12-track album is a big statement that follows their 4 track self-titled EP released in 2009.

"...Boston-based iLa Mawana is solidly reggae, but by mixing dub, roots and Afro-beat, they add dimension to their sound, taking them from quintessential to alluring." - Performer Magazine
