Domingo Prat (1886-1944) is considered as one of the foremost teachers of the guitar in Latin America. After finishing his musical studies in the Municipal School of Music of Barcelona and, subsequently, his guitar studies with Miguel Llobet, he left Spain at the age of 21 to settle in Argentina. Thlere he founded his Guitar Academy with several branches in Buenos Aires. He is the author of several didactic works, anthologies, transcriptions and original works that have been reprinted several times. His scholarly work is reflected in his Diccionario de Guitarristas, first published in Buenos Aires in 1934 by Romero and Fernandez.1
Several passages in his work give testimony to his love for Argentina. Additionally, he created a considerable number of original compositions based on Argentine folklore as well as transcriptions of tangos of the Guardia Vieja.
