The DJ of the Blue Scholars is a Baha'i. Also, Common Market is a Baha'i group. However, this is hip-hop, but, nevertheless, it is Baha'i music! You can feel the Baha'i influence through its social concern. Ra Scion, of Common Market, has a song called Lawh-i-ra (Dawn-breakers). Also, there is an R&B group that goes by Nabil and Karim. |

Devon Gundry's "Armed" --- super sad but so powerful... Andy Grammer's "Keep Your Head Up" ---- a very catchy, positive song |

Okay, Red Grammer, Kathy, David, and Andy were on Pilgrimage when I went. One night Red sang a prayer using the Pilgrim Center's loaner guitar, but then he went to a mall, got new strings for it, and sang the Tablet of Ahamad identically to his recording, never, never missed a beat. I will never ever get over that. I have devoured Red's adult music. He puts words to music that one can't imagine them not having that music before, lyrics you should only be able to read. I think Andy was 17. David did not have as large a musical gift. Andy got the gift and likewise can make lyrics work with music like no one else except his father, but of course in his own way. I feel so blessed to have seen this. I am extremely musical but not a musician and have small skills. I understand what I am hearing, and I am grateful for that. Music is so special in this Faith. I say, I declare the renaissance has begun, it is bearing fruit!!! |
