Mustafa's 'Name of God' is a haunting exploration of faith, identity, and loss. From a 12-year-old poet in Toronto's public housing to a globally acclaimed artist, Mustafa's journey is one of evolving perspectives and deepening questions. This episode delves into his latest album 'Dunya', and it's lead single, unpacking the delicate balance between faith and doubt, and how personal tragedy can reshape our understanding of the world. We explore the unique fusion of Arab musical traditions with contemporary Toronto sounds, and how Mustafa's experiences have crafted a voice that speaks to universal struggles of belonging and belief.
