Internationally acclaimed reggae band, The Lambsbread, have released their latest single, "Warmonger." This poignant and timely song addresses the critical state of humanity, offering a voice for the voiceless and an inspiration to those fighting for their rights worldwide.


"Warmonger" emerges as a heartfelt response to the fragile balance between world powers and the people, shining a light on the injustices faced by communities in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Haiti, and beyond. The Lambsbread calls for an end to the destructive cycle of war and advocates for equal rights and the dismantling of colonial governments and racist institutions.


The band’s inspiration for "Warmonger" was a shared synchronicity in their creative process. "We started working on the song a few months ago when Samuel came to me with the riddim," recalls Kaya, co-founder of The Lambsbread. "As soon as I heard it, I knew this was the one. Nadia and I both independently wrote our parts, and when we came together, our lyrics perfectly intertwined, despite not discussing the song's subject beforehand."


Nadia's contribution to the song was deeply influenced by her perspective as a mother witnessing the devastation of children and families. Kaya, meanwhile, was driven by the harsh realities of war and the profiteering of weapons companies. Together, they crafted "Warmonger" to be a powerful message against war, echoing the words of Haile Selassie I: "To win the War, to overcome the enemy upon the fields cannot alone ensure the Victory in Peace. The cause of War must be removed. Each Nation's rights must be secure from violation. Above all, from the human mind must be erased all thoughts of War as a solution. Then and then only will War cease."


Formed in Kauai in 2003 by husband and wife duo Kaya and Nadia, The Lambsbread have become known for their positive, harmonious melodies and impactful lyrics. Their journey began with the single “Love in the House” and continued with hits like “Mountain Top” featuring Prezident Brown. The band’s lineup evolved to include their sons, Samuel Levi (drummer/producer) and Jacob Selassie (keyboardist), leading to the creation of six full-length albums filled with uplifting messages. Their latest album, “Show Love,” debuted in the top 5 of the iTunes Charts.


The Lambsbread has graced stages at festivals and venues across Hawaii and the U.S., collaborating with reggae legends like Morgan Heritage, Mykal Rose, Sizzla, and Anthony B. The youngest member, 9-year-old Ikaika Lion, has also captured audiences with his vibrant stage presence.


With "Warmonger," The Lambsbread continues their mission to spread love and positivity through reggae music. This new single stands as a beacon of hope and a call to action for justice and peace.
