Remembering Maruja Boga. The voice of the Galician emigration in Argentina radiophony

Abstract

The phenomenon of the Galician emigration to America led to the emergence of Galicia overseas. The weight and dynamism of this migration in host societies, especially in Argentina, favoured the apparition of numerous publications and radio programs that treated the interests of the collectivity and reinforced its bond with Galicia. Highly remarkable is the radio program “Recordando Galicia” (“Remembering Galicia”, Buenos Aires, 1945-1984) a cultural hearing that became a plea of galeguism that her director, Maruja Boga, was compromised with. Although her voice lives on in the collective memory of emigration, Boga has not received the attention of other personalities, nor in Galicia neither overseas.
