Watch Bakar returns with new track ‘The Mission’
It’s his first new music of 2021!
Returning with his first new music of 2021, Bakar is back with new bop ‘The Mission’.
“To me, the song is about the want and need for a better future, especially for 1st generation kids of immigrant backgrounds - telling our stories is so important,” Bakar explains. “I’m trying to represent and reclaim my Islamic faith for a new progressive generation. This is ultimately about peace but so often our symbols and flags have been hijacked for the wrong purposes. I see what’s happening in Kabul this week and pray for the people there.”
Check out the incredible accompanying video from acclaimed Los Angeles based director Jack Begert now.
