100% Jaleo
Welcome to Jaleo Sound, the spanish cultures festival
The experience
Wine. Music. Food that tastes like someone’s grandma smuggled it in.
If that already sounds like a good plan, you’re gonna love what we’ve got cooking.
Living far from home? You know the drill, you miss the stuff you can’t pack...
A certain song. That one slang word no one here understands. A bite of something that hits like a memory. That spark in a room where everyone gets it.
That’s what Jaleo is about.
The realest kind of party: full of culture, good vibes and connection.
You don’t need to know the artists. You just need to show up ready to feel the jaleo, the joy of being alive. Let's celebrate a weekend together!

Amsterdam is turning 750. You read that right. And what better way to honor the city's story than with a celebration of the Spanish-speaking cultures that cherish it?
This festival isn’t a side note. It’s part of the main story.
It’s about music, but also everything else that makes culture matter. Family. Food. Energy. Identity. And a community that refuses to be quiet. We love life and invite you to celebrate it with your people!

Beautiful venues. Intimate setting. No massive stages, no VIP fences, no nonsense.
Just music, good taste, great food and people who came to move, eat, talk, dance, and connect.
More than music...
Jaleo is what happens when things get loud for the right reasons.
It’s that electric, messy, joyful noise you hear when everything’s in full swing.
It’s clapping off-beat, laughing, singing off-key, and dancing with your friends!
It’s full joy in stereo.
It’s the smell of something delicious before you even see the plate.
It’s celebration and culture.
All in one place.
