MonkeyRat And Ayi Solomon’s “Where’s The Peace” Is A Song For The Heart And Feet
“Where’s the Peace” marks an exciting evolution for MonkeyRat, as they join forces with renowned Ghanaian percussionist Ayi Solomoni. The result is a masterful fusion of Western and African rhythms that both entertains and enlightens. Lead vocalist Anna Iachino, alongside band members Arnold Ludvig, Jens Stoklund Jensen, and Alain Dodji Apaloo, creates a rich tapestry of sound that transcends cultural boundaries.
The song opens with an irresistible groove—a pulsing bass line and dynamic beat that perfectly frames Iachino’s ethereal yet compelling vocals. The chorus poses a simple but profound question—”Where’s the peace?”—that resonates long after listening.”

“Where’s The Peace? ” stands out as an anthem for change and unity.
Its lyrics capture a yearning for a better world and, at the same time, an advocacy of the power of individual change. With this song, the rhythm and beat seem to not only echo peace itself but to remind one of the power we possess in bringing into being a more harmonious way of life. MONKEYRAT’s message really hits the chord, and with “Where’s The Peace? undefined”, comes a song which is so relevant, yet uprising in today’s musical aspect.
