“Inkhosi Seyifikile (The Lord Has Come)” by Modison Magagula, Sanele & Xolani

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, we’re in Manzini, Eswatini with Modison Magagula, Sanele Nhlabatsi and Xolani Tsele who sing “Inkhosi Seyifikile (The Lord Has Come)” in siSwati from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was filmed and recorded in Manzini, Eswatini, December 2018.
