He was born in 1873 in the Parish of San Martín de Moreira, municipality of Puenteáreas, province of Pontevedra. Son of a family of notables, from his childhood he was inclined to the Catholic cult, so that he could follow the ecclesiastical career, which already had brother and parents with the highest functions. Unforeseen circumstances caused Manuel to move to Argentina with his elders in 1887. He entered the wood industry, distinguished himself in cabinet making and later in guitar making, one of his masters being the former guitar maker López and the famous Nuñez; all from the enchanting region of Galicia. He reads and learns, with an ability that allows him to acquire a vast culture. Dominguez's presentations were pleasant, profound and instructive. As a guitarist, he has made a good name for himself ; he never "decorated" his guitars: he always gave them the humility of tradition and the simplicity of the pilgrim.
