“Coral and Pearls” by Shabnam & Dom

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 Hobart, Australia with Shabnam Hinton and Dom Hinton who sing “Coral and Pearls” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha. 

This song was filmed and recorded in Hobart, Australia in December 2023.
