African playing the piano around Italy (9)
I believe the answer is:
ethiopian
'african' is the definition.
(Ethiopian is an example)
'playing the piano around italy' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'italy' becomes 'i'.
'the'+'piano'='thepiano'
'thepiano' anagrammed gives 'ethiopan'.
'ethiopan' going around 'i' is 'ETHIOPIAN'.
(Other definitions for ethiopian that I've seen before include "Like Emperor Haile Selassie?" , "From, eg, Addis Ababa" , "found in Addis Ababa" , "from African country" , "Citizen of north-east African state" .)
