The Councillor of Culture of the Insular Council of Menorca has edited
recently several publications, including amongst others a very interesting
book called "Les cançons amades". The book groups unpublished
old popular poems that have been found recently at the house of Francesc
d'Albranca. They are erotic texts that the Menorcan folklorist compiled
but never dared to publish because he was a very religious person.
The publishing of this important Menorcan cultural heritage is part
of the programme of the "Any Albranca", promoted by the Menorcan Council,
supported by different Menorcan institutions, to pay tribute to the doctor
and folklorist, Fancesc Camps i Mercadal (Es Migjorn Gran, 1852-1929),
better known as Francesc d'Albranca because he lived in the property of
Albranca.
