Ila Mawana doesn't stop at dub

Prior to their appearance last week on The Boston Local Music Show, I'd thought that Ila Mawana was just another Boston dub band.  

Granted, "just another" is a misleading term when playing in the same circles as Dub Down and Dub Apocolypse.  With the addition of new lead singer/ songwriter Hayley Jane; Ila Mawana is set to skyrocket into a whole new musical echelon this spring.  Even on the track we captured earlier this week on The Boston Local Music Show (recorded and mixed by the Man from Nantucket himself) you can hear the raw power and character in Hayley Jane's voice. With a line up including some of Boston's best reggae musicians and Hayley Jane's pipes Ila Mawana provides a rare experience for listeners new and old to the Boston dub/ reggae scene.
