La Sara Talla es cuidadora en una residencia de ancianos He came to Catalonia to continue his studies and, finally, to work. When her mother became ill, she brought her here, however, despite the efforts, she ended up dying. Ara, the Sara poses return at the Cameroon to mount a residence of grandparents, so that it views how, altho traditionally the wife bamileké has been always the attendant to take care the parents of his family and of the husband, this is capsizing: the wife has more surveys, works at the office instead of the area and meets which are his laws. According to Sara, this change, driven by the influence of French colonisation, has also led to a loss of Bamilekés cultural values. She, from here, tries to defend them throught the Balafon association, but it is not easy, because she often has to avoid issues such as polygamy or worship of the dead, which she sees as cultural facts, but she knows that they can hurt sensibilities and not be understood as existing realities, beyond the opinion they deserve. We will hear her speak in bamileké, the language of 4 million people in Cameroon, which receives little attention from the authorities.
