- Abstract
Jordi Pere Cerdà (Antoni Cayrol's pseudonym) was a Catalan poet, short-story writer and playwright who was born in a small village in the French Pyrenees and lived his entire life in France. In the 1950s he became interested in his county's traditional folk songs, leading him to compile a songbook that was published posthumously. In these songs, Cerdà found certain perfect language models that enabled him to write in his native Roussillon Catalan. As a stage director, he incorporated popular songs into his shows to raise awareness of both actors and spectators belonged to a same community and to increase the prestige of traditional heritage. Likewise, as a playwright, he made certain characters sing traditional-style songs in his plays, with themes and situations typical of folk songs and with different literary functions.
