February 28, 2024, in Music > Studio Session, by

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 Perth, Australia with Shameem Taheri-Lee, Pegah Zabihian, Araan Kousari, Sophie Jain, Banafsheh Sheriff, and Ramona Zare who sing “Make Haste to Love” based on the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha.

This song was filmed and recorded in Perth, Australia in December 2023. This song was composed by Roxana Sheriff and was recorded in her loving memory.
