FELA KUTI

'Gentleman'

Originally released 1973

This reissue released 2016

Gentleman

Fe Fe Ne Eye Fe

Igbe

 Gentleman is primarily a verbal battering of the post-colonial mentality of his fellow Africans (also abused elsewhere in other albums). It is a relatively humorous episode this time through, as he mocks the "gentleman" for wearing numerous layers of clothing in the ridiculously hot African sun (where Fela was wont to wear a pair of shorts alone). Among the most scathing lyrics here: "He unknowingly piss on himself." This isn't the full-blooded political anger that would come about stronger in times to come, but it's a gentle step in that direction. It also marks the first album featuring tenor sax work by Fela himself, after Igo Chico had quit the band. "Fefe Naa Efe" and "Igbe" are both noteworthy dance grooves.

This reissue LP is brand new and sealed!

If you have any questions,please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks for looking!
