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 Belgrade, Serbia with Yoshie Koshikawa and Ali Youssefi singing 子どもの祈り (Prayer for Children) in Japanese from a prayer by Abdu'l-Baha.
