‘Talisman’ is a devotional album unlike any other. The words, taken directly from the writings of the Faith combine with Leonor’s rich voice and folkloric music to create a devotional experience that is both soul stirring while simultaneously making us need to move our feet!

For those who aren’t familiar with Leonor Dely, she is a jewel in the Columbian music community. Her incredible voice and passion for traditional columbian rhythms has won her high praise. She was invited to perform for the dedication of the Chilean Temple and shared her music with the masses. Her family, who are all successful musicians in their own right, accompany her in all her musical endeavors…

This timeless world-music album, which includes the masterful production work of JB Eckl, Shango Dely, Francisco “Pancho” Tomaselli and KC Porter, is a cultural treasure for our community. Though the words are primarily in Spanish, the spirit translates. It’s rousing delivery of the writings make it a powerful tool capable of touching the hearts of Spanish & English speaking seekers alike.

For any true music lover or for those looking to enrich their devotions or any upcoming Bicentenary celebrations, this devotional album is an answer to your prayers.

Ranging in genre from Electronic to Bluegrass, from Hip-Hop to Pop, Indie to Latin this album has something for everyone.. and once you push play.. you will never want to hit stop. (Amazing for children as well)

“I HAVE RETURNED TO THEE”

With a musical heritage that spans generations, who could imagine that Jamey Heath’s debut album would be anything less than stunning. “I Have Returned To Thee” is a powerhouse of artistic proportions. The writings of the Faith set to Jamey’s melodic and smooth tone are sure to move your heart. These songs will stay with you long after the music has stopped… and will be recalled time and time again. (Amazing for children as well)

“REFRENERGY”

It has been many years since Devon Gundry has released an album to the world. His video “Armed” became an internet sensation… but people kept inquiring where they could get the music… well the time is now! “Refrenergy” is his latest release and features 7 new songs as well as the instrumentals so your community can sing along! Upbeat, Poignant, and powerful. “Refrenergy” does as the name implies.

“TABLETS OF BAHA’U’LLAH”

Sometimes it is hard to find time to deepen on the sacred texts… HearTheWritings.com knew that, so they set about creating the definitive unabridged audio book versions of the Sacred Writings of the Baha’i Faith. At just under 8 hours, the Tablets of Baha’u’llah audio book seeks to transform times of mental availability into opportunities to deepen on the writings. (Commute, etc.) Download or order your physical copy today.

“LUMINOUS JOURNEY”

The first full length documentary about the travels of Abdu’l-Baha throughout North America is groundbreaking. Taking his travels and giving the viewer a glimpse of what it must have been like to be in the presence of the master so many years ago… but with a relevance that can be experienced today. Available on both DVD and High Definition Blu-Ray, this film should be a part of every Baha’is library.

“THE VERY BEST OF ERIC HARPER”

What do you get when you take a child to Portugal to pioneer, give him a guitar in the land of flamenco, and deepen his Faith in Baha’u’llah? Eric Harper! His latest album “The Very Best of Eric Harper” takes his favorite songs from his previous 3 albums and combines them into a single 19 song CD. If you like the Gypsy Kings you will love this!

“IF WE COULD ONLY CATCH A GLIMPSE”

MJ Cyr’s latest album is unlike any we have heard. Always pushing the boundaries, MJ’s latest creation takes an organic approach to setting the sacred word to melody. At times rock, at times country, but always inspiring.  (Amazing for children as well)

“THE DIVINE SPARK”

Taraz Nosrat’s “The Divine Spark” was touched by the hand of God. Inspiring, easy to memorize, uplifting are just a few of the descriptions we have heard. This album will be a welcome addition to any Baha’i music library. (Amazing for children as well)

The post Ayyam-i-Ha Gift Guide for 2015! first appeared on 9 Star Media.

Tom Francis is a remarkable new artist from Australia. His album, which was featured on Kickstarter, is unabashedly promoted as a Baha’i Inspired Album. We were impressed before he began recording and followed closely.. but when he sent us the finished album, we were floored! This music, inspired by the Faith,  includes the writings as well as original songs about the Faith. It is inspiring, powerful and accessible to secular audiences.. yes, it is THAT GOOD.  In fact it is so good that it is being profiled on secular blogs and the mainstream music scene is taking notice.

It should be clear by now that we believe everyone should support great music like this.. and to help that process along WE ARE GIVING AWAY 5 COPIES OF HIS ALBUM to our community!

Follow the link below to help spread the word and enter for a chance to win 1 of 5 copies of his album for FREE… yep, our favorite price too! (no purchase necessary)

In addition, you may know that Jamey was recently involved in a very serious accident which left his ankle shattered. He was transported back from Costa Rica for emergency surgery, has been hospitalized for the last week, and is facing multiple surgeries and an extended recovery/rehabilitation period (if the surgeries go as planned.)

With that in mind, from now till the end of January, 9StarMedia will be sending 100% of the profits from sales of “I Have Returned To Thee” directly to Jamey to help cover his mounting medical bills as well as the future work he will surely miss while recovering.

Though it is only a small part to play in such a large ordeal, our hope is that together with your assistance we can offer a little support to Jamey and his family in this challenging time.. and in the process encourage him, through our support, to keep creating such powerful devotional albums.

SARAH PERCEVAL- ILLUMINED YOUTH

The power of example. One thing which has always been an inspiration for us is hearing the stories of the heros and heroines of the early days of the Faith. Their stories of struggle and triumph over great obstacles provide a powerful example as we seek to overcome our own struggles to serve the Cause. This unique collection of stories focuses on the journey of several youthful heroes and heroines of the Faith. Their examples not only demonstrate the triumph of the human spirit but, more importantly, the unquestionable existence of the Divine assistance which will rush to the aid of those in need. Told by the incredible Sarah Perceval with musical score by Rosanna Lee and Caeli Lohr, these stories will inspire you. During those times when you need just a little more courage, a little more strength, or a little more momentum, these stories will help propel you forward.. and, perhaps, assist you to become modern day heroes for the Cause.

[quote] Wherefore, O ye illumined youth, strive by night and by day to unravel the mysteries of the mind and spirit, and to grasp the secrets of the Day of God. Inform yourselves of the evidences that the Most Great Name hath dawned. Open your lips in praise. Adduce convincing arguments and proofs. Lead those who thirst to the fountain of life; grant ye true health to the ailing. Be ye apprentices of God; be ye physicians directed by God, and heal ye the sick among humankind. Bring those who have been excluded into the circle of intimate friends. Make the despairing to be filled with hope. Waken them that slumber; make the heedless mindful.

Such are the fruits of this earthly life. Such is the station of resplendent glory. Upon you be Bahá’u’l-Abha.

~ Abdu’l-Bahá (Compilation of Compilations, Vol. 2, page 415-440)
