Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Answers will vary.

Akami means noise and disorder. Ekimi means silence and order.
 For the BaAka, disease and/or social conflict are symptoms of disorder, while wellness and peace are functions of order.
 Because music is inherently ordered, making music together is a means to promote personal and social health.

Answer to Question 2

Answers will vary.

 Kuti states that he wishes people could live in happiness.
 The song calls attention to reasons why it is hard for the average person in Nigeria to be contented or happy.
