https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial_ManColonial Man is the 18th studio album by legendary South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela, released on January 30, 1976, through Casablanca Records.
Recorded in New York and Chicago, the album is widely regarded as a concept and protest album that captures Masekela's fierce anti-colonial sentiments during his years in exile.
The album blends Afrobeat, jazz fusion, and funk with "socially charged" lyrics. While some tracks offer breezy, soul-influenced grooves, the lyrical content is sharp and political, specifically targeting historical figures associated with African colonization.
