Source-derived summary

Ole! is an international musical comedy show created by Paul Morocco in 1991.

Paul Morocco

Paul Morocco was born in 1961 in Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States. He comes from a Moroccan mother and an American father. Paul was taught to play guitar by his brother at the age of 10, and learned to juggle with three lemons while working in a restaurant at the age of 15. In 1978, he joined the International Jongleurs Association where he won several competitions. After he had performed in many school plays, it was his high school talent show that was to sow the seeds of the life of an artist.

In 1980, he attended Old Dominion University, where he studied languages and international marketing. In 1984, he learned the ancient craft of passing the hat; he street-performed from New Orleans to New York, and finally ended up in Europe.

In 1985, he won the Cardiff Street Festival Competition.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Olé (group)” as musical comedy trio. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1991, 1961, 1978, 1980—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1992. The account is most persuasive where group, musical and comedy can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as musical comedy trio. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7089293. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1991, 1961, 1978 and 1980.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
