Bandera de Venezuela
Bandera de Colombia

/re-bu-LI-syo/

Collective noise, uproar, or the loud chaotic movement of a group of people. In Venezuela and Colombia, 'rebullicio' is the specific energy of a crowd that erupts all at once — everyone moving, shouting, reacting at the same time. Orderly it is not.

Example

"A rebullicio broke out in the square when the candidate arrived."

"The kids made such a rebullicio it echoed through the whole building."
