Jaleo (cante)
A jaleo is a chorus in flamenco in which dancers and the singer clap. More particularly, in flamenco jaleo includes words of encouragement called out to the performers, as individuals or as a group, as well as hand-clapping. Among common jaleo shouts to cheer on the singers, the guitarists or the dancers, are ''olé'' and ''así se canta'' or ''así se baila'' ("that's the way to sing," or "that's the way to dance"). Done to accompany the rhythm of the music, it may constitute an integral part of the flamenco art. The clapping can be done with cupped hands which makes a hollow sound (''sordas''), or a staccato effect can be produced with stiff fingers striking the palm of the other hand (''altas''). In addition, finger-snapping (''pitos''), feet stomping done when seated, and clicking sounds are used. "Three good ''jaleadores'' (performers of jaleo) can sound like ten.

Flamenco
Flamenco (), in its strictest sense, is an art form based on the various folkloric music traditions of southern Spain, developed within the gitano subculture of the region of Andalusia, and also having historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, it is a portmanteau term used to refer to a variety of both contemporary and traditional musical styles typical of southern Spain. Flamenco is closely associated to the gitanos of the Romani ethnicity who have contributed significantly to its origination and professionalization. However, its style is uniquely Andalusian and flamenco artists have historically included Spaniards of both gitano and non-gitano heritage. The oldest record of flamenco music dates to 1774 in the book ''Las Cartas Marruecas'' by José Cadalso. The development of flamenco over the past two centuries is well documented: "the theatre movement of sainetes (one-act plays) and tonadillas, popular song books and song sheets, customs, studies of ...
