DUNYA is the first music film from The Meccan Openings project. the term “dunya” is an arabic term that essentially means “the temporal world”. this is a pretty good definition.
the term “music film” is a term that was developed between i and film director Mustafa Davis. we have teamed up to produce the series of video that will bring The Meccan Openings to the screen. they are too much like short films to be called music videos and too much like music videos to be called short films. hence, music film.
the other defining characteristic of this project is that all of the music films follow a narrative, albeit an abstract one, that traverses a winding path in an exploration of ego, heart, soul and spirit. the album itself has a strong narrative and Mustafa’s music films will usher that narrative onto the screen. i am very excited about the endeavor. we know it is a daunting task, no doubt, but one we look forward to engaging. i hope you find good in them.
heres the song. the short music film premiers here Monday, June 1st.
Love&Love

Some of us even don’t realize the importance of this information. What a pity.
