Mustafa's Dunya has been celebrated as one of the most acclaimed albums of 2024, and he's using that momentum to launch his first world tour.

The Toronto-born singer-songwriter and poet will embark on the tour in February 2025, going to 19 cities in Canada, the United States and Europe, plus dates in Ethiopia and Sudan.


Mustafa made worldwide headlines with his acclaimed pair of Artists for Aid concerts this year for Gaza and Sudan, which featured artists like Clairo, Stormzy, Ramy Youssef and Daniel Caesar. His final concert in Sudan should be a special and personal one for the singer.

His lone Canadian date is in Montreal at Le National on February 27.

To celebrate the announcement, Mustafa has released a new live video featuring hushed renditions of three Dunya songs: “What good is a heart?,” “Leaving Toronto” and “I’ll Go Anywhere.” It features collaborators including Kibrom Birhane on masenqo and krar and the aforementioned Daniel Caesar a fellow Canadian singer who had a big year, on vocals. His recent collaborations with Tyler, The Creator on Chromakopia earned him some of his highest charting songs.

Mustafa and Caesar are longtime collaborators, and their voices come together beautifully on songs like "Leaving Toronto."

Tickets for Mustafa's tour go on sale this Friday, December 13th at 10 am local time at Mustafa's website.

Quebec to Impose Quotas For French-Language Content On Streaming Platforms

Bill 109 could impose big changes for streaming services to improve the discoverability of French-language content in Quebec.

Quebec may soon be getting stricter language regulations on streaming services.

Quebec Culture Minister Mathieu Lacombe tabled a new bill on Wednesday (May 21) that aims to add more French-language content to major streaming platforms, as well as increasing its discoverability and accessibility by establishing quotas. The bill will directly impact platforms that offer media content such as music, TV, video and audiobooks, including giants like Netflix and Spotify.
