In 1931, Victoria Ocampo founded Sur in Buenos Aires, which became one of the most influential literary publications for decades, with a clear international calling. In 1933, the magazine’s publisher released an edition of Lorca’s Romancero Gitano (The Gypsy Ballads), coinciding with the poet’s visit to Argentina and Uruguay. Throughout his stay, Lorca participated in conferences, interviews, releases and poetry readings, earning him extraordinary success.
