Menorcan "Balladors" and "sonadors" perform every Friday this summer
in Fornells
The Menorcan Federation of Folk Groups (FEMEFOLK) has organised a programme
of folk dances to show the traditional Menorcan music, dances and dresses
to tourists and residents of this small village of the northern coast of
the island. The performances take place every Friday at 8.30 p.m., until
the end of August, in an excellent frame, with the Church of Sant Antoni
and the sea in the background.
Last Friday, within the programme of the Patron Saint Festivities for
Sant Antoni, the folk group of Sant Miquel performed. This group was founded
in 1971 in the parish of Sant Miquel in Ciutadella.
On Friday, August 2, the dancers and musicians of the Grup folklòric
Ciutadella will perform, and on Friday 9, the Grup de balls populars Arrels
de Sant Joan, also from Ciutadella.
On Friday 16, the group in charge of the show will be the Grup de ball
es Penell from Ferreries, and on Friday 23, the Grup folklòric Castell
de Sant Felip from Es Castell.
The last performance, by the Escola de música i ball de Sant
Lluís, will be on Friday 30.
