Give Belmonte A Visit
When in Sevilla, Spain, be sure to visit the grave of the legendary Juan Belmonte. he rests within the San Fernando Cemetery, under a modern art type tomb that looks like a distorted black piano, very near the graves of Joselito and Paquirri
Belmonte suffered over 50 gorings in his career, but died by his own hand, shooting himself when as an old man, his health was failing him. .
The legendary torero survives in film, book and song. From his great rivalry with Joselito to his last days as a breeder of bulls, the bullfight remained an integral part of his life and he, a key contributor to the art form.
His autobiography, Juan Belmonte, Killer Of Bulls, remains one of the most interesting books ever written by or about a bullfighter. This is of course just one of a multitude of books in which he appears, in a variety of languages.
Belmonte may also be readily seen from old movie clips on You Tube.
Two pasodobles, Juan Belmonte and la Vuelta De Juan Belmonte, are still heard in Spanish bullrings, which were composed decades ago in his honor.
It is all but impossible to pick up a book or watch a dvd on the history of bullfighting without finding him at least mentioned.
So if you are ever in Sevilla, be sure to visit San Fernando and pay your respects to this icon of toreros
QEPD, maestro.

Jorge Pereira
In the 1980s there was a Jorge Pereira out of Lisboa who was an active rejoneador. He appeared not only in Portugal, but in Spain, France and bloodless bullfights in the USA.
Now there is a new Jorge Pereira active in Portugal, who is no relation to the rejoneador noted here.
This Pereira is a capable banderilleros. In fact, he is considered one of the most active of peones in the Portuguese bullfight at this time.
Too often the banderilleros never get credit for their actions in the ring, in newspapers, books, songs or even blogs. In this case, the situation is corrected.
A big ole for Jorge Pereira, who is one of the finest of banderilleros!

Manuel Capetillo
In his era, the late Manuel Capetillo was considered one of the finest muleteros in the world. Tall and with long arms, he could run the hand second to none with circling derechazos and natural passes in his faenas. He was also an outstanding swordsman when it came to the kill.
While he was seen often in Spain and South America, Mexico was always his home base and scene for his greatest triumphs. Mexico City was the location of some of his best showings ever, where he cut several tails. A rivalry with Manolo Martinez in the 1960s highlighted many of these corridas, with the two men inspiring each other to greatness. In both Plaza Mexico and the El Toreo, the pair offered truly magnificent presentations as they tried to top each other over and over.
Mexico City was also the location where Capetillo suffered his worst injury, a near fatal goring in the chest while working with the muleta.
Tijuana, Nogales, Juarez, Guadalajara, san Luis Posoti and Aguascalientes were other areas where Capetillo offered glorious faenas that remain etched in the history of Mexican bullfighting.
Two of Capetillo's sons also became matadores de toros.
Aside from bullfighting ,Capetillo cut records, starred in films and appeared on television, becoming a well-rounded figure in the entertainment industry. In the early 1960s, he also gained considerable profit by endorsing a brand of alcohol.
Capetillo continued to perform into the late 1970s before calling it quits as an active matador. He lived to be quite elderly before passing away from natural causes.

Alfredo Leal
Tall and dashing, the late Alfredo Leal was one of the main matadores of his time, starring in not only the bullring, but film, television and music as well. Oddly, the bulk of his movies were not bullfight related, but westerns.
Though he was seen in both Spain and South America, Mexico was the scene of his greatest triumphs. The border town of Tijuana saw him score many great corridas, but it was also in this city he received his most serious goring, taking a huge leg wound while placing banderillas.
Leal also had several triumphant tardes in the border towns of Juarez and Nogales.
Capable in all parts of the corrida, Leal was especially noted for his work with the sword. He remained one of the most unerring killers of his era.
Leal was likewise a mainstay in Mexico City, where he had great cartel.
The American writer, Lyn Sherwood, constantly praised Leal for his artistic endeavors in both his newspaper columns and in Clarin magazine. Pepe Alameda was another commentator and writer who was constantly pushing Leal for his capability. The 1961 book, Matadors Of Mexico, by Ann Miller, devoted much time to Leal and his work on the sand, a did the writings later on of Pepe Mata.
Though long gone, Leal lives on in these writings, in dvds, on you tube and in a pasodoble composed in his honor, as well as his many film and television roles. Oddly, one of his last television parts was for a beer commercial in the USA. Leal spoke English and thus had no problem with shooting.

Rodrigo Cepeda "Breco"
In the 1970s, Miguel Cepeda "Breco" was a popular matador de toros, especially noted for his work with the banderillas. He was also one of the best and fastest of killers when delivering he sword. A number of near-fatal gorings hindered his career greatly, but he nonetheless became a popular and much loved torero in the Mexican plazas. He left his mark, to be certain.
Now enter a new El Breco in the form of Rodrigo Cepeda "Breco" who is carrying on the bloodline and family tradition.
In true "Breco" form he is noted for his work with the banderillas, placing his owns ticks with style and originality.
He likewise carries on the tradition of opening most performances with a frightening farol de rodillas on his knees before going into more artistic work with the capote.
With the muleta the new El Breco shows a proper balance between artistry and valor, giving all the aficionados a little of what the look for.
Like Miguel "Breco" before him, Rodrigo is also a capable swordsman with the kill.
The name of El Breco lives again!

Luis Miguel Stumer
Luis Miguel "Mike" Stumer and his wife now live in the suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona, where they are heavily involved with a local bullfight club.
In the 1960s, Stumer fought regularly as an American novilleros and was far more than just a novelty. A student of El Nene of Lima, he appeared in Peru, Bolivia and other South American countries, in both large and small plazas.
Unlike his teacher, Nene, who was regarded as a valiente, Stumer was artistic and dominating on the sand. He, however, never took the alternativa. regardless of this, he left his mark on the sand during his time spent there.
Of one can find old Toros magazines from the 1960s, it is difficult not to find something on him in the South American section. Mike's father was a correspondent for the publication and thus he had a publicity outlet built in for him.
Stumer often outshined his South American counterparts in the ring, such as Paco Cespedes and the like. He was truly a talented individual.

The Return Of Soro
He is far heavier than he once was. he has bad knees. he is no spring chicken as one would say in English. Due to thee factors, some seriously questioned the decision of Vicente Ruiz "Soro" to return to the ring. Granted, the experience factor was there, having been a matador de toros for over 2 decade, but would age hinder or destroy him? From his return corrida onward, Soro proved the scoffers wrong. He continues to do so even now, as he is set to headline the big Feria De Las Fallas in Valencia upcoming.
No longer able to kneel in front of the big gate as he once did to start his performance due to his knees, he instead goes puerta gayola, sitting in a chair. The impact is still there.
His work with the banderillas with the same skill and flash as when he was young. His trademarked spinning run toward the bull is as exciting as always.
With the muleta, he is as daring and dominating as ever. Some contend with the years of experience added on, he is even better in this act now than when younger.
He kills like, well....a hawk.
In all regards, Soro has broken the age barriers and made the comeback of a lifetime. The march is on and the triumphs have continued to come.
Soro has shown determination, dedication and valor worthy of the title of matador de toros more than anyone.

Triunfo Por Zotoluco
Ante menos de media plaza se llevó a cabo
la corrida extraordinaria en la plaza "La Taurina" de Huamantla en la que
recibió la borla de matador el joven Carlos Fuentes de manos del maestro
Zotoluco y ante el testimonio de Arturo Saldivar.
El
maestro Zotoluco anduvo muy por encima de sus dos enemigos, con su primero que
tuvo muy poca fuerza, lo entendió muy bien y consiguió muletazos con ambas manos
de mucho mérito, lo mato de media estocada y dos golpes de descabello para ser
ovacionado.
Su
segundo fue un toro con genio y que desarrolló sentido muy pronto, Zotoluco le
piso los terrenos y consiguió imponerse a su enemigo que termino entregándose al
maestro quien culminó su faena de una estocada entera en todo lo alto, haciendo
al toro rodar sin puntilla, lo que le valió el corte de las dos
orejas.
Arturo Saldivar anduvo muy firme con sus dos enemigos y con muchas ganas de agradar al respetable, corto una merecida oreja de su primero y con su segundo que termino complicado escucho una fuerte ovación en el tercio.

ambos.

Julian Paez
The bullring makes men out of boys in short order. In the past,many top toreros started as child bullfighters, facing calves, before graduating to novillos and then toros.
El Yiyo, Lucio Sandon, Julian Maestro, Payo, Juli, Eloy Cavazos, Manolo Mejia, Joselito Bienvenida, Jose "Gallito" and Luis Miguel Dominguin all started as child bullfighters before moving through the ranks.
Meet Julian Jose Paez, another very young torero who ahs started with calves and has worked his way up to novillos. Well on the path to stardom, it will be interesting to watch as he ages, gains more experience and develops into a seasoned torero.
Already showing exceptional style with capote and muleta, Paez has also shown great skill in placing the banderillas.
This young man should go places if he continues to improve and keeps on his current path.

Moro
Humberto Moo was a beloved Mexican matador in the 1950s and 1960s, sating farewell to the bulls in 1970. When active, he was known as The Man With Left Arm Of Gold for his tendency to link many flowing natural passes in his faenas.
Moro also survived one of the worst nonfatal gorings in Mexican history, when he took a nightmarish horn wound in the pueblo of Xico in the summer of 1960. To put it nicely, the horn destroyed his private parts, but the miracle of modern medicine restored him not only to life, but fatherhood.
Moro's son also became a matador.
Moro was especially popular in the border towns of Tijuana and Juarez, where he received many contracts and saw many triumphant afternoons. he was also popular in his residential town of Aguascalientes within the interior, as well as san Luis Potosi, Guadalajara and otter major rings. Born in Linares, Mexico in 1929, he took the alternativa in Plaza Mexico in 1951 at the hands of Manolo Dos Santos and Jesus Cordoba. Aside from a lengthy career in Mexico, he made appearance sin many South American plazas.

Autlan
El sevillano Manuel Escribano se
presentaba por primera vez en su carrera en esta Feria de Autlán, a su primero
lo lanceo bien con el capote, posteriormente brilló en el tercio de banderillas
dejando buenos pares, con la muleta el sevillano se acomodó ante el astado que
tenía buenas condiciones y mucha nobleza, dejó muletazos largos por ambos
pitones y rematando con muchos adornos como trincherazos que le fueron coreados,
finalizo su labor toreando por manoletinas y dejó una buena estocada al primer
intento para cortar una oreja.
A su segundo lo lanceo con gusto a la
verónica rematando con una media muy torera, tras el puyazo el sevillano ejecutó
un buen quite con el capote a la espalda, cubrió con facilidad y gusto el
segundo tercio, con la muleta dibujo buenos pasajes por ambos pitones pero
teniendo en contra el viento, mató de media estocada y fue
ovacionado.
Octavio García “El Payo” poco pudo hacer
con el capote ya que el astado presentaba algunas complicaciones en su
embestida, el queretano a base de voluntad intento sacar muletazos a un astado
que pasaba sin fijarse en la muleta y hacia cosas de manso a lo largo de la
faena por lo cual El Payo se metió entre los pitones para conectar buenos
muletazos, dejó una estocada al encuentro para recibir palmas.
Con su segundo no pudo emplearse con el
capote y solamente dejo algunos lances, con la muleta tampoco ha podido lucir
tras pechar con el peor lote, sin embargo a base de carácter y de pundonor ha
sacado muletazos de donde no había nada lo cual le fue agradecido por el
tendido, mató al segundo intento y recibió palmas luego de una digna
actuación.
Diego Silveti brego de buena forma a su
primero al que remato con una media verónica, con la muleta cuajo buenos
derechazos de inicio toreando con la mano muy baja, Silveti toreo al natural con
trazos buenos sin embargo el astado era mejor por el lado derecho, por lo cual
el torero guanajuatense volvió a torear por ese lado con temple y mando,
finalizó con una buena estocada y un descabello, el puntillero levantó al astado
y el diestro guanajuatense escuchó palmas.
Con el cierra plaza el toreo de dinastía poco pudo hacer con el capote, ya que el toro no se empleaba de buena forma, con la muleta Diego inicio doblándose con mucha firmeza, posteriormente conectó buenos muletazos por el lado derecho bajando la mano y toreando con mucha voluntad ya que el astado no se prestaba para el lucimiento pues tenía movilidad pero sin clase, en todo momento Silveti estuvo por encima de su enemigo, finalizó dejando una media estocada y varios descabellos para recibir tibias palmas.
Villa Alvarez
Manuel Escribano enfrentó en primer
termino a un toro muy rajado, al cual le realizó buenos lances con el capote,
sin embargo el astado fue perdiendo fondo y el sevillano solamente dejo algunos
buenos muletazos por ambos lados, lo mató de estocada al primer intento y fue
silenciado.
Con su segundo el diestro sevillano
enfrentó a un astado que tuvo calidad y mejor embestida que su primer enemigo,
con el cual se gustó con el capote, lucio en el tercio de banderillas dejando
pares muy vistosos que calaron fuerte en el tendido, con la muleta Escribano
pegó tandas de mucha calidad, muy largas y con la mano baja, buenos derechazos y
entonados naturales los que conectó el diestro español en una faena larga,
finalizó con media estocada, para cortar una oreja.
EL hidrocálido Arturo Macías enfrentó en
primer lugar a un astado que por momentos tuvo clase, sobre todo en el tercer
tercio, El Cejas inicio su faena con doblones muy toreros para después
aprovechar el buen lado derecho del toro de Pozo Hondo e hilvanar buenas tandas
con mucho valor y gustando en los tendidos, el de Aguascalientes finalizó su
labor con manoletinas y la paso mal con los aceros matando después de tres
pinchazos y dos descabellos, sin embargo ha dejado una faena que gusto en el
tendido y se retiró con algunas palmas tras aviso.
Con su segundo Macías ha salido muy
animoso y conectando con el tendido, lanceo de buena forma y con la muleta
inicio pegado a las tablas de esta peculiar plaza, el hidrocálido toreo por
ambos pitones con muletazos muy sentidos y de gustó, metiéndose entre los
pitones y dejando buenas tandas sobre todo por el lado derecho, de nueva cuenta
la paso mal con la espada y escuchó dos avisos para retirarse en
silencio.
Diego Silveti se vio en primer lugar ante
un astado muy serio de hechuras, pero que en su juego tuvo poca fuerza, el
torero guanajuatense lo toreo despacio y con gusto con la muleta llevando al
toro de las tablas a los medios, el astado colaboraba poco al ser por momentos
débil y esto impedía la largueza en los muletazos, Silveti se gustó por el lado
izquierdo sin embargo el astado se acabó pronto, lo mató de estocada y un
descabello para recibir las palmas del tendido.
Con
el cierra plaza también de buena presentación y con genio en su embestida, el
torero de dinastía ha estado con mucha decisión pero no ha tenido toro para el
lucimiento, ya que el astado se rajaba en varios momentos de la faena, con mucha
voluntad Diego ha podido sacar algunos buenos muletazos, abrevio su faena y mató
de estocada entera para ser ovacionado.

Alberto Gomez

Plaza Mexico
Abrió plaza el español Francisco Rivera
Ordoñez quien regresó a los ruedos luego de una grave cornada que sufrió en el
mes de agosto en Huesca, Rivera se enfrentó en primera instancia a un bonito
astado de Marrón al cual lanceo de buena forma a la verónica por ambos lados,
brindo su actuación a la afición que se dio cita en este domingo, para iniciar
su faena en la cual dejo pasajes buenos sobre todo por el lado derecho, sin
embargo el astado no colaboraba mucho para el lucimiento del diestro español ya
que se quedaba corto en las embestidas, la paso mal con los aceros y tras varios
pinchazos y tres descabellos se retiró en silencio.
A su segundo lo recibió pegado a tablas
con una larga cambiada de rodillas y dejo algunos lances aprovechando las
embestidas del toro, con la muleta inicio con doblones y llevándolo de tablas a
tercio, el toro se empleaba en la muleta de Paquirri quien le ligó tandas
interesantes por el lado derecho, conectó naturales a media altura, el diestro
español en todo momento se vio dispuesto y entregado, sacando muletazos a un
toro que acabo con ese recorrido que tenía al inicio de la faena, mató al tercer
intento y recibió tibias palmas.
Diego Silveti realizó su tercera
comparecencia en la actual temporada, a su primero lo paro de buena forma para
torear a la verónica por ambos lados, tras el puyazo ejecutó chicuelinas
ajustadas y suaves para rematar con una revolera muy torera, brindo su faena a
la afición de La México para comenzar con un péndulo con las zapatillas muy
fijas en el ruedo, Silveti se topó con un buen astado de Marrón que colaboraba
para que el diestro pegara muletazos por largos y templados por el lado derecho,
por el izquierdo el astado no tenía tanta calidad, por el lado derecho Silveti
dejó los mejores momentos estando siempre por encima del toro, conecto algunos
muletazos en redondo pero el astado perdía fuerza, finalizó su labor con
manoletinas que le fueron coreadas, lo paso mal con los aceros y tras pinchazos
y descabello, para irse con silencio tras dos avisos.
Fermín Espinosa “Armillita” recibió con
buenos lances a un bonito toro de Marrón, después de que el astado fue al
caballo, se echó el capote a la espada y ejecutó un quite por saltilleras,
brindo su faena a la afición, con la muleta al toro le faltaba un poco de
transmisión, sin embargo Fermín lo intento por ambos lados y por momentos llego
a sacar buenos pases mayormente por el lado derecho, el astado colaboro poco al
quedarse parado, terminó con algunos muletazos de pitón a pitón para finalizar
con una estocada un poco caída y recibió ligeras palmas.
Ante su segundo lanceo a la verónica para
rematar con una revolera, lo bregó para llevarlo al caballo, tras el puyazo
Silveti se llevó el capote a la espalda en los medios de la plaza para ejecutar
un ceñido quite por gaoneras y conectando con el tendido, al igual que su
primero brindo su actuación a los aficionados de La México e inicio su faena con
muletazos estatuarios y rematando con una buena trincherilla, Silveti se
encontró con un toro que de inicio presentaba fijeza y mejores condiciones por
momentos que los otros toros, el torero guanajuatense dejo buenos pasajes por
ambos pitones sin embargo la embestida del toro se fue para abajo y perdía las
manos en varias ocasiones, Diego estuvo encima de su oponente en todo momento y
finalizó su labor con una buena estocada y utilizó el descabello para escuchar
un aviso.
Con el segundo de su lote poco pudo hacer
con el capote, con la muleta el toro no ayudaba al desempeño del hidrocálido, ya
que perdía las manos después de cada muletazo, Fermín lo intento pero tuvo que
abreviar su faena, mató al segundo intento de media estocada.
Juan Pablo Llaguno dejó buenos lances a
la verónica jugando los brazos y caminándole al astado, tras brindar su labor a
la afición, comenzó su faena con buenos muletazos por el lado derecho, el astado
no se empleaba a fondo y embestía a media altura, el queretano lo intento
dejando muestras de su buen estilo de torero, sin embargo el de Marrón no
colaboraba para el triunfo, dejó pinchazo y estocada y escucho algunas
palmas.
Desde Autlan
La plaza Alberto Balderas de Autlan de la Grana registro casi un lleno para ver la segunda corrida de carnaval en esta localidad jalicense.
Se lidio una buena corrida de la ganadería de San Miguel de Mimiahuapan, muy bien presentada, con edad y trapío, de la que destacaron los toros corridos en tercero y cuarto lugar de la lidia ordinaria que merecieron los honores de el arrastre lento.
Abrió plaza el rejoneador Sebastian Torre quien ha tenido una buena actuación que no pudo coronar con el rejón de muerte.
El maestro Zotoluco ha tenido una tarde redonda, le corto una oreja a su primer enemigo y dos al segundo, realizando dos faenas de distinto corte, la primera de poder y mando ante un astado que le pidió las credenciales y que no le puso las cosas fáciles, Zotoluco echo mano de su experiencia y termino dominando al de Mimiahuapan, al que despacho de una estocada ligeramente caída y le fue concedida una oreja.
Con su segundo, que tuvo clase y movilidad, aunque fue un tanto andarin, Zotoluco le cuajó una faena de altos vuelos por ambos pitones, se le vio muy firme, reposado y entregado a lo largo de toda la faena rematando la misma de una estocada entera para que el juez le concediera las dos orejas.
Ignacio Garibay se vio muy solvente y decidido ante su primer enemigo, al que se impuso a base de aguante y buen oficio, desafortunadamente fallo con la espada y fue llamado a saludar al tercio.
Su segundo fue el toro mas complicado de la corrida, ya que desarrolló sentido y soltaba mucho la cara, siempre pendiente de el torero que en todo momento estuvo por encima de las condiciones de su enemigo, al que despacho de un pinchazo, una estocada y dos golpes de descabello y fue ovacionado.
Juan Pablo Sanchez brindó una gran actuación al público Autlense en dos faenas muy templadas que remató con sendas estocadas entregándose en la suerte por lo que en ambas faenas desorejo a sus dos enemigos.
Su primer toro tuvo mucha clase y embestía muy despacio, el hidrocálido lo entendió muy bien y consiguió tandas de gran valía por ambos pitones.
Su segundo fue un tanto mas soso, y Juan Pablo le piso los terrenos y aprovecho la nobleza de el de Mimiahuapan rematando su faena con ajustadas manoletinas y una estocada de efectos inmediatos por lo que el juez le concedió las dos orejas.
Al término de el festejo, el maestro Zotoluco y Juan Pablo fueron sacados a hombros.
POR SU ATENCION Y APOYO MUCHAS GRACIAS !!

Joel Delgado "Panita"
Joel; Delgado "Panita" was born in Leon, but presently makes his home in Aguascalientes, Mexico, the city if many great Mexican toreros.
As one of many active novilleros, Delgado has shown considerable promise in both the pueblos and the major plazas.
Though he is capable in all parts of the corrida, Delgado is especially skilled in the placing of the banderillas and usually hears applause for his work with the sticks.
Keep an eye on him.

Silveti Y Espana
Luego de triunfar el pasado domingo en
Ajalvir, Madrid y lograr la primera puerta grande de
su temporada europea, el matador Diego Silveti arribará este viernes a México
para continuar con sus compromisos en nuestro país.
Tras su actuación del domingo, Silveti
estuvo metido en el campo bravo español para intensificar su preparación de cara
a las siguientes fechas, el torero de dinastía visito las ganaderías de Nuñez
del Cuvillo donde realizó labores de campo tentando dos vacas, también visitó la
ganadería de Santiago Domecq donde se probó ante dos vacas y un toro, dejando
buenas sensaciones en todo momento y disfrutando del campo bravo español,
finalizó sus labores de campo en la ganadería de Hermanos Garzón.
Esta preparación fue realizada de cara a
su tercera comparecencia en la Temporada Grande de la Plaza México, donde
actuará este domingo 7 de febrero en el cartel de dinastías, alternando con el
español Francisco Rivera Ordoñez “Paquirri” quien regresa a los ruedos luego de
la grave cornada que sufrió en agosto en la provincia de Huesca, aparecen en el
cartel los jóvenes mexicanos Fermín Espinosa “Armillita IV” y Juan Pablo
Llaguno, para lidiar un encierro de la ganadería de Marrón.
Emilio Silvera
As always, this page likes to call attention to the novilleros, as the hope for the future.
Meet Emilio Silvera of Sevilla, a novilleros con picadores who is fast rising in the ranks and gaining attention for his smooth, artistic style.
It is relatively early in his career to really make grandiose predictions, but if he continues to show the ability he has in some of his recent novilladas, he will indeed develop into a figura some day. He has depicted great skill with capote and sword, but more notably with the muleta.
We say this often, but keep an eye out for this torero as he could truly develop into a major star one day.
Suerte, Emilio.

Jose Doblado
Jose Doblado was born in Jerez de la Frontera, but presently makes his home in Huelva, the area of many famous bullfighters from the past such as Litri and Chamaco. The grandson of a mayoral on a ranch, bullfighting was born into his blood.
Doblado made his debut in the suit of lights in Nievla in 1994 and eventually took the alternativa at the hands of Pepin Laria.
Years spent in the ring have proven him to be an artistic and capable matador de toros, especially known for his work for the muleta and of the linking of exceptionally flowing naturales. When in his moment, few of the figuras could really top his work, especially again, with the muleta.
One may find several clips of him in action on You Tube.
He is also on Facebook and willing to link tot he aficion.
