Open The Gates by Smith & Dragoman

July 8, 2015, in Music > Recording Artist, by

Smith & Dragoman’s debut album titled Open the Gates, is a 20 track album, released in 2004. It focuses on the life of the Bab and His followers, and takes the listener on a journey of courage, faith, crisis and victory. It is a soul-stirring and rich blend of Middle Eastern, African and Western instruments and melodies.

You can buy a digital version of Open The Gates here.

You’d have to check with Baha’i Bookstores in your area, or contact the Band (https://smithanddragoman.com/), or 9 Star Media: https://9starmedia.com/smith-and-dragoman-open-the-gates
