THE MANY FACES OF JULIO IGLESIAS: “UN CANTO A GALICIA”, EMIGRATION AND THE NETWORK SOCIETYFootnote1

1. I would like to express my thanks to a number of people who have helped me in the research for this essay: my colleagues Ian Magedera and Lyndy Stewart for their assistance with the French version of “Un chant à Galice”, and Freya Jarman-Ivens for her advice on the musical aspects of the song. I would also like to thank María Liñeira, whose comment that Julio Iglesias “tamén é galego” started me along this path.
