Gentleman (album)
''Gentleman'' is a studio album by Nigerian Afrobeat musician Fela Kuti, released in 1973 by EMI. He wrote and produced the album and performed it with his Africa 70 band. The cover artwork's depiction of a monkey's head superimposed on a suited body is a reference to the album's title track, which is Kuti's commentary on the colonial mentality of Africans who adhere to European customs and clothing.
== Music and lyrics ==
The album's title track is Kuti's commentary on the colonial mentality of Africans who adhere to European customs and clothing, as referenced by the cover artwork's collage of a monkey's head on a suited body. On the song, Kuti ponders why fellow Africans would wear so much clothing in the African heat: "I know what to wear but my friend don't know / I am not a gentleman like that! / I be Africa man original."〔 He solos on his tenor saxophone over most of the song's nine-minute intro and switches to his electric piano during the vocal sections. Kuti had learned how to play after the departure of Igo Chico from his Afrika 70 band in 1973.〔 "Gentleman" is followed by two jazzy instrumentals—"Fefe Naa Efe" and "Igbe".〔
