When you hear them play the first cut off their "Soldiers of Sound" CD you really do think. "Hey these guys might be right. Maybe we do live in a "Golden Age". After seeing them in concert last Tuesday at the St. Roch Tavern, here in New Orleans, you know it's true. Yes there are a lot of great young players on the road right now that are following in the foot steps of masters and walking on the shoulders of giants from yesteryear. Of course these new soldiers of sound have a different take on things, but they remain true to the natural roots of the music. ila Mawana is both roots and a new golden age. They are willing to work really hard to earn your respect and your heart with their 12 I-ridiginal songs on their CD , the vintage instruments that they play with loving care as well as the vocal of GP, their really evocative vocalist.
"Golden Age"
I have been humming these irrepressible tunes for days now. And every time I put on the new cd I am struck by their attention to detail and their relentless pursuit of pure reggae vibe and proper respect to the men and women that made the kind of music they play even possible. They are currently touring around the US and they will soon be in a town near you. Take it from me, "it's a serious ting", you need to go see these guys as much as they need to be seen by you. It's a fair trade. And hey, isn't the the start of a beautiful relationship? Listen to this cut called "Tree Dub" and you will see like I do that these guys really get it and they have the work ethic that will take them far.
"Soliders of Sound"
Irrepressable or I-repressable? It makes no difference to these guys. They just flat out play and their only goal is to entertain and enlighten. You can hear more of their music and learn more about the band like where to get their cd at their myspace http://dubmusic.com/ It's clear these guys have nothing but love!
