Ya Mustafa

"Ya Mustafa" also spelled "Ya Mustapha" (in Arabic يا مصطفى), is a well-known multilingual song from Egypt, composed by famous Egyptian Musician Mohamed Fawzi to feature in the Egyptian movie That's What Love Is (1961), in which Azzam appeared in cameo appearance as a singer while singing the song alongside leading actors Salah Zulfikar and Sabah, and which has then been recorded in many different languages for its unique and catchy tunes. Several different versions, including parodies, have been recorded. The song first became popular in Europe with the help of singer Bob Azzam, who released it in 1960 in France.[1]
