jaleo

  • /hɑːˈleɪəʊ/

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Spanish jaleo.

noun jaleos

  1. A lively Andalusian dance.
  2. The clapping that accompanies it. The jaleo is a necessary and intricate component of flamenco. It usually serves as an accompaniment and encouragement for flamenco's other components, but I have also heard cuadros perform the jaleo very effectively as a solo number.
