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, Calla sings “No One But Thee”, from the Writings of the Bab.

This song was filmed and recorded in Toronto, Canada, August 2015.
