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 Adelaide, Australia with Delia Olam, Hero Olam and Charli Olam who sings “O Son of the Wondrous Vision!” based on the Writings of Baha’u’llah.

This song was composed by Delia Olam.
