Baha’i Blog’s “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 New York, USA with Earl Henrikson who sings “Be Thou Content” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
