Los Xey (pronounced "Chey") occupies a unique space in the history of Spanish music as an iconic Basque vocal group that left a significant mark in the mid-20th century. Originating from Spain, their harmonious blend of voices and incorporation of traditional Basque music into their repertoire allowed them to enjoy widespread popularity, not only within the Basque Country but across Spain and beyond.

Titles like "La del Pañuelo Rojo" and "En el Monte Gorbea" reflect their commitment to their Basque roots, while albums such as "Los Xey - De Rompe y Rasga" and remastered collections including "Buen Menú (Remastered)" and "Los Xey. Todas Sus Grabaciones Y Éxitos Vol.1 Y 2 (1944-1947)" showcase the enduring appeal of their music. Their ability to engage with traditional themes while appealing to the sensibilities of a broader audience helped forge a lasting legacy that continues to be celebrated through reissues and remastered works, ensuring their music remains accessible to new generations of listeners.
