"Jaleo" is the first international and second US single from Ricky Martin's album Almas del Silencio. It was released on May 2, 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.

A music video, directed by Kacho López and Carlos Pérez, aired in May 2003.

"Jaleo" peaked at number one on the US Hot Latin Songs for one week and in Spain for four weeks. It was a top-forty hit around the world.

"Jaleo" (Roger Sanchez Remix) was nominated at the 2004 Latin Billboard Music Awards as the Latin Dance Club Play Track of the Year.
