}}Colonial Man is the eighteenth studio album by South African trumpeter Hugh Masekela.[2] It was recorded in New York and Chicago and released on LP[3] and 8-track cassette[4] on 30 January 1976 via the Casablanca Records label.[5][6] The album's title song "Colonial Man", "Vasco Da Gama" and "Cecil Rhodes" express African anti-colonial sentiments.[7] At the time of its release, it was referred to variously by reviewers as a concept album[8] and a protest album.[9]

Reception

A reviewer of Dusty Groove wrote "A later album from Hugh Masekela – but still plenty darn hip, way more so than most of the other artists on the Casablanca label at the time! Hugh's South African groove is still very firmly in place here – mixed with a slightly warmer LA soul sound, but expanded with loads of great arrangements that get a lot more complicated than before – and which bring in some great keyboard and percussion bits. Sivuca makes a wonderful appearance on 2 tracks – using that blend of voice and accordion that sounds so great – and the whole record's got a depth and sense of soul that you'd never guess from it's (sic) silly title and cover!"[10]
