Xahu nace del reencuentro de cuatro músicos vascos que se conocen en Musikene y que comparten numerosos proyectos mientras estudian jazz en Donosti. Después de tomar diferentes caminos éstos se cruzan otra vez, dando lugar a este nuevo proyecto que surge de las ganas de crear música entre amigos. Un cuarteto de jazz en el que predomina la complicidad, con un repertorio compuesto por temas originales que tienen influencias que van desde el bebop o el hard-bop, hasta el jazz más actual. Entre 2018 y 2019, mientras residen como banda de la casa en la Hacería Jazz Club, actúan por el territorio vasco, llegando a participar en festivales de jazz como Heineken Jazzaldia de Donosti o Jazzezblai de Deba. Después de un parón debido a la pandemia global, este proyecto vuelve con más fuerza que nunca.
