Cry accompanying a flamenco dance
Answer:
OLÉ!
Hint:
This exclamation is often shouted by spectators during bullfights or passionate performances, especially in Spanish culture. Think of a short, energetic cheer.
Explanation:
"Olé!" is the passionate shout you’ll hear during a flamenco performance, often when dancers or musicians hit an especially dramatic moment. The clue plays on the word "cry," which here means an exclamation rather than tears, tying directly to the energetic call-and-response tradition in Spanish culture. It’s a straightforward answer once you recognize the flamenco connection—no wordplay, just pure cultural flair.
