Answer 1

Answer:

You need to know the context of a people's music.

Explanation:

One of the things that the 20th-century Anthropology brought was the concept of otherness, or to be specific, the idea that the context which a certain civilization is based on it's important and must be considered. In this case where a piece of music is the study case, then the Anthropologist (or the specialist who is studying it) should look at the people who created that song, analyzing their beliefs, social skills, cultural elements and points of view and, then, propose an understanding about that music.
