There is no consensus about the etymological origin of ole, also mentioned as olé .

Olé to live someone

Luis Carlos Esteban,Emilio Estecha,Juan Tarodo y Gustavo Montesano, entre otros, fueron algunos de los artistas que formaron parte de esta banda durante los años que estuvo en activo. No obstante, a pesar de no seguir, muchas de sus canciones se han convertido en clásicos de la historia de la música española.
