Dalai Lama Contributes To Four Songs On Instruments For Kids Album

By Aaron Brophy

A new age recording that includes contributions from the Dalai Lama is being used to get underprivileged kids in developing countries musical instruments and spread the awareness about the concept of "aloha."


The Himalayan Sessions is a compilation featuring late flutist and “father of New Age music” Paul Horn, Emmy awarded world music composer Christopher Hedge and traditional Hawaiian musician Keola Beamer. The 10-track album also features contributions from His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama on four songs, Reflections, Morning Prayer, Preserving Dharma and Autonomous Harmony.

Proceeds from the compilation will go towards the Aloha Music Camp and Mohala Hou Foundation, which provide ukuleles to children in third-world countries.

MGK Shares Cute Pics of Baby Saga Blade on Daughter’s First Birthday

The "Cliché" singer shares custody of his little one with ex Megan Fox.

MGK is sharing pics from his infant daughter Saga Blade’s first birthday celebration. The “Cliché” singer posted a series of snaps of his second-born little one on Wednesday (April 1), obscuring the face of the child he shares with ex actress Megan Fox in a photo carousel of images from the baby’s first year.

In the first snap, Saga sits on a tile floor in a cute pink onesie with smiley faces and flowers on it as she reaches out to touch her dad’s black and white patterned sneakers, which match her checkered mini Vans. In another, the rap-rocker enjoys an al fresco lunch with 16-year-old daughter Casie Baker, who leans into her dad as he balances Saga — with the baby’s face obscured by a birthday themed emoji — on his knee.
