Baha’i Blog is super excited to share this fun little song called “HAPPY AYYAM-I-HA” performed by Andy Grammer and written by Andy Grammer, Red Grammer, and Jamey Heath.
Ayyam-i-Ha is a multiple-day Baha’i festival that is joyously celebrated all over the world, and it typically falls around the end of February and beginning of March. It’s a period dedicated to socializing, being hospitable, giving generously to the poor and needy, and preparing for the upcoming Baha’i month of fasting. Everyone celebrates Ayyam-i-Ha differently, and you can find out more about this special time here: An Introduction to Ayyam-i-Ha
Special thanks to Andy Grammer, Red Grammer and Jamey Heath for this fun song, and for letting Baha’i Blog share it with everyone, and below are the lyrics and chords so you can all sing along!
