Twelve years later, French radio and television recruited him as technical advisor and section head. In this capacity, he attended the recording of records in Arabic and Kabyle and met great artists such as Mohamed Abdelwahab and Farid El Atrache. Touched by the exile of his son, Hadj M’Hamed El Anka appealed to him to return through a song in Kabyle “Izrin Yeghlev Lehmali”. Mustapha will respond to his father with the song in Arabic “Ya Abi Ya Abi” which will be a great success. During his exile, Mustapha married a Spanish woman, but, discreetly, little is known about his private life and his escapade outside Algeria.
