“Chicago” by The Friends in Chicago [Audio Track]

January 11, 2019, in Music, by

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 Chicago, USA with The Friends in Chicago singing “Chicago”, based on an excerpt from a talk given by Abdu’l-Baha. 

The Friends in Chicago are: Jeremy, Adeeb, Anahita, Danika, and Savva.

This song was filmed and recorded in Chicago, USA, December, 2018.
