Lost in the Dunya Tour

"Dunya," the title of Mustafa's masterfully crafted and breathtakingly tender album, translates from Arabic as "the world with all its flaws." It's a lofty subject for a young songwriter, but as with every subject at the heart of the Sudanese-Canadian artist's work—from religious devotion to childhood trauma, gang violence to romantic intimacy—he approaches it through a personal lens.



Mixing genres and moods, weaving novelistic details into memorable folk songs, the artist has created an album that feels like a series of personal breakthroughs arriving one after another.


What's first striking about Mustafa's music is his way of writing: a simple, piercing tone that makes each story feel as raw and earnest as the words of a love song. With his soft-spoken delivery capable of silencing those around him, Mustafa quickly evolved from a child prodigy reciting poetry in his hometown of Toronto to a force behind the songs and writing pop songs.
