San Juan Y Boedo

Thursday, June 15, 2006: The corner of San Juan y Boedo in the barrio of Boedo. That is where the confiteria is--the famous one where Homero Manzi, one of the most famous tango songwriters and others used to hang out in the 30s and 40s. It is a very touristy corner these days--pictures of the songwriters, plus the dates of their most famous songs, like Malena, written in 1941. Malena is one of the most beautiful and haunting songs ever composed, a tribute to a woman no man can forget.
