Answer to Question 1

 territorial divisions headed by a chief (as differentiated from a hierarchical concentration of power within a large state, that we will see in the Mande and Dagbamba kingdoms)
 The unit of Ewe social life is the extended familypeople related in lineage to a common ancestor.

Answer to Question 2

 A person from a concert-music-culture (most Westerners) is used to thinking of music as an event separate from daily life and often created as art for art's sake. Such a person might plan to attend concerts of art music performed by musicians who may have had years of specialized conservatory training. An African going about his daily life, on the other hand, may make musical sounds with his community that are the voices of his ancestors.
