"Jaleo" (Fuss) is the first international and second US single from Ricky Martin's album Almas del Silencio (2003). It was released on May 2, 2003 internationally and in July 2003 in the United States. "Jaleo", a Spanish word of Hebrew origin, has various meanings: to clap or yell out words such as "¡olé!", "¡eso!" to encourage flamenco dancers during a performance, or a style of dancing. Billboard describes the song as an "uptempo track with Middle Eastern and flamenco inflections".[1]
