Fela Kuti's new album (well, new, it's been out for half a year or so)
is called 'Army Arrangment', and I think it's his best; especially
the titel song.

By the way, did you know that Fela Kuti is in hospital?
He was arrested a few months ago. The official reason was that
he hadn't paid a parking ticket, but I guess the government didn't
like the combination of his popularity and his critical songs.
Yesterday, I heard a bulletin on the radio stating that he
was seriously ill, and taken to hospital. No details, though.
