Arturo Borja

Arturo Borja Pérez (1892 – November 13, 1912) was an Ecuadorian poet who was part of a group known as the "Generación decapitada" (Decapitated Generation).

With respect to his relationship with the other poets of the Decapitated Generation, he was great friends of Humberto Fierro and Ernesto Noboa y Caamaño, with whom he had considerable correspondence during his life.

The "Generación decapitada" (Decapitated Generation) was a literary group formed by four young Ecuadorian poets in the first decades of the 20th century.

The term "generación decapitada" originated in the middle of the 20th century, when Ecuadorian journalists and historians decided to name them, noting similarities in the authors' poetry.

His poem "Para mí tu recuerdo" (For Me Your Memory) was made into a pasillo song by composer Miguel Ángel Casares Viteri, and sung by vocalists such as Carlota Jaramillo and Bolívar “El Pollo” Ortiz.
