Alfredo Paredes is a Bolivian musician and teacher specializing in Konnakol, Indian classical music, Charango, and Guitar.

A direct disciple of Vidwan Somashekar Jois, Vidushi Kanchana Shriranjani, and Vidwan Saishiv Lakshmi, he studied for years in South India and is among the few Western practitioners authorized to teach Konnakol through the traditional methodology of his teachers.

His work connects Indian rhythm, Konnakol, Tala, improvisation, harmony, ear training, Charango, and Guitar, incorporating influences from Jazz, Indian, Bolivian, and Classical music.

Alfredo presents rhythm workshops internationally and has developed practical approaches for applying Konnakol and Indian rhythmic concepts to Western music, improvisation, composition, and contemporary creative practices.
