Somewhere in between bittersweet and a reverie, EA Wave's new song continues to establish the group's ambition to fuse modern music stylings with those of 70s post-rock Kenya.

With the aid of RnB and pop duo, Mankind, comes a coming-of-age tale, that every adult must go through - leave home and forge one's own path. The song simulates the conversation between a child and their mother, a mother's reluctance towards separation and their child's resolve to leave.

'Dala' derives its name from the Dholuo word for 'home'. A love letter to those who shaped us  and the places we are from.

Lyrics by Eugene Lowell and Brian Owuor

Mixed by Jacob 'Jinku' Solomon with assistance from Hiribae Wanyoike and Samuel 'Sichangi' Namasaka.
