 Julián Centeya
That he was not born in Boedo little or nothing matters; Julian lived ("breathing" tense of the verb to live) in Boedo and the adventure of walking the landscapes, that Homero Manzi gave us back in "Sur", was his.
And it is the environment of that city, within the great city, where he devises his first milonga and where he adopted for himself the name of the character who, according to many, would make him immortal: Julián Centeya, with music by José Canet (1938).
Horacio Ferrer, besides the biographical data already mentioned, places him "within the stream of writers of Boedo in 1925, that transmuted the "sermo afanaris" of lunfardo into literature with a schooled dimension and he is, together with Cátulo Castillo, Juan C. Lamadrid and Juan B. Devoto, the most far-reaching figure among his contemporaries".

 Literary Encyclopedia: Borges, Jorge Luis
From 1924 to 1933 Borges founded several literary magazines and contributed to some others, in particular Martín Fierro.
The publicity of those days involved two groups of writers: the aristocratic and intellectual “Florida” group, and the streetwise “Boedo” group, steeped in gaucho lore.
Borges was assigned to the first one, but he wanted to prove to himself and the others that the local colour of Buenos Aires was a very important resource for their work.
