Dive into this riveting exploration of Time as we traverse the vibrant African landscape. Through the eyes of Tariro, a young girl deeply entwined in her African roots, we scrutinize the traditional concept of time.

This video unveils how time in Africa isn't merely a set of ticking hands or a digital display but it is akin to a flowing river, shaped by community events and shared experiences.

We will delve into the fascinating works of African philosophers like E.J. Alagoa and Kanu Ikechukwu Anthony, exploring the harmonic interplay of spirituality, environment, and society in the African concepts of time and causality.

The effect of globalization and the advent of Western time values are also discussed, exhibiting how it subtly fuses with the African rhythm, reshaping societal behavior.

Our journey concludes with a vital introspection: Is life trapped within the divisions of time, or is it time that is framed by life and culture its rhythm?

Was this evolution beneficial or has it steered us away from the heartbeat of life?

Discover how time metamorphosizes from a measurer into a storytelling entity of shared experiences and shifts in realities across African landscapes.

#ongreendolphinstreet #milesdavis #jazz lyrics:
Lover, one lovely day
Love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
Through these moments apart
Love come here in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
I could kiss the ground on Green Dolphin Street
Lover, one lovely day
A love came planning to stay
Green Dolphin Street supplied the setting
The setting for nights beyond forgetting
And through these moments apart
Love come here in my heart
When I recall the love I found on
Im gonna kiss the ground I found on Green Dolphin Street
