Franc is a Bamileke from Bafou (near Dschang), Cameroon, who lives and studies in Germany. In the recording, he demonstrates a wedding ritual that is common in the rural area around Dschang: Usually, the bridegroom and his relatives are singing together, dancing around a few disguised women from the village and requesting the bride to reveal her face while guessing who of those veiled women she is.
