Aknowledged as one of the leading composers and interpreters of bolivian native music, Dominguez played with the legendary bolivian folk supergroup Los Jairas and also lead a remarcable solo career, whose highlight is the conceptual composition-album "Vida, pasion y muerte de Juan Cutipa" ("Life, passion and death of Juan Cutipa"). Alfredo Dominguez also worked as a painter and participated in several major plastic arts exposition all over the world, yet his contribution to guitar playing and folk musicianship (developing a highly innovative, as well as undoubtly rooted in his humble origins, style)are yet unmatched in his beloved Bolivia.
