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.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
