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. Their music, characterized by lively rhythms and melodies, spoke to a post-war era eager for light-hearted entertainment and cultural pride.
Throughout the 1940s to the 1960s, Los Xey captivated audiences with an array of songs that ranged from folk tunes native to the Basque region to popular Spanish music of the day. 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.
