Ayo's revelation rippled through the streets of Adiré like a long-forgotten breeze. The "Song of Harmony" was not just a myth; it was a tangible piece of history, a melody that could reshape the future. Yet, when she presented her findings to the city's elite scientists, they met her with skepticism and scorn.
The scientists had long turned their backs on the old ways, their faith placed firmly in the hands of technology. To them, Ayo's music was nothing more than a relic, a quaint superstition that had no place in the modern world. They dismissed her with a wave of their hands, their minds closed to the possibilities that her music held.
But Ayo's spirit was not so easily quenched. If the city's gatekeepers would not listen, she would find an audience among its people. She took to the streets, her oud in hand, and found kinship with a group of street musicians. They were a motley crew, their music a vibrant tapestry of Adiré's many voices.
Together, they formed a rhythm of resistance. Their music was a call to action, a plea for the people of Adiré to remember the earth's songs. They played for change, for justice, for a return to the harmony that had been lost. And as their music filled the air, the seeds of a movement were sown.
