I never heard of him. When I saw your photo I went to YouTube and saw some videos of him singing. I still don't know where he is from or what language he sings in. It'll be nice if you tell us something.

Ok,laptop back...its like living in a strange house that has all your clothes and furniture in the wrong rooms. :mad2:

Debu are my friends and family,making music for at least 25 years,in one form or another,
today's line up , our children.-about 50 of us live and work in Indonesia-a community of sufis with a sheykh whose traditions go back to Rumi,amongst others.
Mustafa took on the lead vocals 7 years ago,when his father,(who can sing a mean blues song to this day) retired from public life and concentrated on his writing,which includes all Debu's lyrics.His name is Sheykh Fattaah-an american- DAR mother-who traveled the world,after serving his country in Korea,and sat at the feet of teachers from many religions,until he came to rest with a Sheykh who taught him sufism,eventually granting him permission to teach.

Singing in 7 or more languages,based in Indonesia,playing in S.E Asia,and now Turkey and Iran,the message is peace,care for our world,feed your soul !
We try really hard to stay clear of political connections,choosing to promote world and health concerns and young artists who come to us for experience in the biz,
......and generally have a ball traveling around together,playing live music shows

Mustafa has matured in his role as our arranger,adding flamenco,rock,folk influences,bringing in artists from all over the world to collaborate,and I'm proud to be his friend,Auntie and embedded photographer !

My band website is www.myspace.com/debususaan-
-for links and videos and info.

Here are a few recent photos of Mustafa,will put more in a blog,as time allows.
