Event information

"When the calabash breaks" is a phrase often used in African cultures to signify a significant disruption or loss, usually related to a breakdown in tradition, community, or a key aspect of life, as a calabash is a treasured gourd used for storing water and food, and its breakage represents a major loss or disruption to the household or community; it can also symbolize a loss of life or a significant change in someone's life depending on the context.
