Ridvan celebrates Baha’u’llah’s time in 1863 in the garden of Ridvan in Baghdad when He publicly declared His station as a Manifestation of God. The Ridvan Festival is 12 days long and is also the time of year when Baha’is elect their governing bodies.
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, Miguel Perez sings “Haz Mencion de Mi” from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
This song was filmed and recorded in Madrid, Spain, October 2015.

Thanks so much Laura. I will be sure to watch for more. The music is beautiful. Guitar is my favourite instrument – though I would love to hear Aaron Ferrara play the hang drum – maybe you could persuade him and post it here! It is delicious.
