Former MTV Rapper Nimo brings "Empty Hands" tour of enlightening music for all ages to Marblehead Zen Center
The Marblehead Zen Center announces the visit of musician singer Nimo. As part of his international “Empty Hands Music Pilgrimage” tour, Nimo will share his heart-opening songs of gratitude and kindness for people of all ages. Events are free and open to the public, and will feature a half-day meditation retreat for adults, mid-day interactive singing circles for children, and an evening community celebration of stories and song for friends and families of all ages.

From fame and fortune as an MTV Rap star, Nimo realized that he was walking a path of suffering, and that the only path to light was through selfless service to others. For the past 4 ½ years Nimo has been serving and working with underprivileged communities in the Gandhi Ashram in India. Now Nimo is offering his gift of love, peace and oneness thru his songs: an offering he calls ”Empty Hands Music.” www.emptyhandsmusic.com A music/ documentary video, recently released on YouTube to highlight the Empty Hands Music Pilgrimage, features Nimo and children from the Gandhi Ashram. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrVHarNCaYA&feature=youtu.be
