Miguel Ángel Quevedo Pérez

Miguel Ángel Quevedo y Pérez was a Cuban journalist, newspaper director, and magazine publisher.

On May 10, 1908, Quevedo first published the magazine Bohemia, which he named after his favorite opera, La bohème, by Giacomo Puccini.

An additional note is that in this early era of media consumption in Cuba, magazines were not the preferred method of news, with most consumers desiring particularly the journalism provided in newspapers.

[3] In the 1910s, Quevedo called for the creation of a Cuban branch of the Scouting Movement, and extolled the virtues that such an organization could hold in a country that was struggling to define itself.

[1] Their headquarters and offices were located within the Bohemia building for many years, with Quevedo Perez being a founder and primary benefactor, having written many of their bylaws himself.
