'''Boedo''' is a [working-class](/source/working_class) ''[barrio](/source/barrio)'' or neighborhood of [Buenos Aires](/source/Buenos_Aires), [Argentina](/source/Argentina). The neighborhood and one of its principal streets were named after [Mariano Boedo](/source/Mariano_Boedo), a leading figure in the [Argentine independence](/source/Argentine_Declaration_of_Independence).<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Historia/bRgXAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0&bsq=Boedo%20-wikipedia |title=Historia |date=2002 |publisher=Ediciones AP |pages=69 |language=es}}</ref>

==Esquina Homero Manzi==
left|thumb|190px|Esquina Homero Manzileft|thumb|190px|Traditional Boedo-area rowhouse, once ubiquitous in Buenos Aires The corner of San Juan and Boedo is mentioned in the opening verse of the [tango](/source/tango_music) ''[Sur](/source/Sur_(tango))'', one of the best-loved songs about Buenos Aires. The corner is now known as ''Esquina Homero Manzi'' after the [author of the lyrics](/source/Homero_Manzi), and is the venue for several tango festivals.

==Boedo Literary Group==
The ''Boedo'' group were a group of [left-leaning](/source/left-wing_politics) [Argentine](/source/Argentine_literature) and [Uruguayan](/source/Uruguayan_literature) writers in the 1920s. Notable members of the Boedo group included [Enrique Amorim](/source/Enrique_Amorim), Leónidas Barletta, Elías Castelnuovo, Roberto Mariani, Nicolás Olivari, Lorenzo Stanchina, [César Tiempo](/source/C%C3%A9sar_Tiempo), and Álvaro Yunque.

Magazines associated with the Boedo group included ''Dínamo'', ''Extrema Izquierda'' and ''Los Pensadores'', and Antonio Zamora's publishing house ''Claridad''.

Olivari, who was a founder of the Boedo group, later became a member of the less political [Florida group](/source/Florida_group); [Roberto Arlt](/source/Roberto_Arlt) was also associated with both groups.

==Transportation==
Boedo has access to many bus lines to the center and to the nearby ''Primera Junta'' transportation hub. It has also access to the [E Line](/source/Line_E_(Buenos_Aires_Underground)) of the ''subte'' ([subway](/source/Buenos_Aires_metro)).

The main streets of the neighborhood are: Boedo to the South, San Juan/Directorio to the east, and Independencia/Alberdi to the West.
==Cultural references==

The suburb is immortalized in the tango 'Boedo', written in 1928 by Julio De Caro and with lyrics by Francisco Bautista Rímoli. The lyrics personify it as a working-class suburb, a home of tango and a refuge for the poor who created it; the lyrics include a reference to the poets of the 'corner'.
