In bullfighting, the word is commonly shouted by the crowds as a cry of approval to cheer on a series of moves performed by the bullfighter, with each move greeted with an 'olé'. In flamenco music and dance, shouts of 'olé' often accompany the dancer during and at the end of the performance, and a singer in cante jondo may emphasize the word 'olé' with melismatic turns.
Olé is a Spanish interjection used to cheer on or praise a performance commonly used in bullfighting and flamenco dance.
