“Free Thyself” by Ann-Sofie & Rasmus

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 Stockholm, Sweden with Ann-Sofie Wensbo and Rasmus Blomqvist who sing “Free Thyself” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Stockholm, Sweden, October 2018.
