Donde Vas Alfonso XII is an impressive album by Los Payadores, a Chilean folk music group. The album features traditional Chilean music, specifically the payada, a form of improvisational singing. The group's beautiful harmonies and intricate guitar work are showcased throughout the album.

The album's title track, "Donde Vas Alfonso XII," is a standout song.

Another standout track is "El Canelo de Nos," a song about the famous tree located in the town of Nos. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody make it a memorable addition to the album.
