3 Mustaphas 3

3 Mustaphas 3 is a British World music band formed in 1982. Core members are Ben Mandelson (under the name Hijaz Mustapha), Tim Fienburgh (1954-2008) (under the name Niaveti III) Colin Bass (under the name Sabah Habas Mustapha), and Nigel Watson (under the name Houzam Mustapha), around which orbit many other Mustaphas - all supposed to be the nephews of Uncle Patrel Mustapha. They claim to originate from the Balkans, but play music from almost every continent; their slogan, "Forward in all directions!", is an expression of this musical diversity. Active at the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, they have now stopped producing and performing together, but haven't officially disbanded.

...This is a band that really rocked my world in the 80s and early 90s, and still does today! Full of absurdity, humor, and extreme musical eclecticism, they also could seriously kick ass in an amazing number of musical genres. I HIGHLY reccomend seeking out "Heart Of Uncle" to start with (you can get it as a download through Amazon actually), but many other fantastic albums in their catalog await you too. "Can I take it to the fridge?" Hell yeah!
