3 Mustaphas 3 is a London, UK worldbeat music band, formed in 1982. Core members were Ben Mandelson (aka Hijaz Mustapha) and Colin Bass (aka Sabah Habas Mustapha), around which orbited other Mustaphas, all supposed to be the nephews of Uncle Patrel Mustapha (played by Lu Edmonds). They claim originate from the Balkans, but play music from almost every continent; their slogan, "Forward in all directions!", is an expression of this musical diversity.
