Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
“Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions” is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Stockholm, Sweden with Ann-Sofie Wensbo and Shahram Mansoory who sing “Ädel”, which is Swedish for “Noble”, and is from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was composed by Shahram Mansoory and the chords and musical arrangement are by Ann-Sofie Wensbo.
This song was filmed and recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, October, 2018.
