El Pana
No, not the baker, although, yes, the baker, since he worked as a baker to support himself as a young aspirante. Known both for his eccentricity as well as for his almost psychotic courage, El Pana is widely considered to be "the one to see" mostly because many folks think that each year will be his last.
This is a clip of a recent performance in Plaza Mexico. Enjoy.

I saw El Pano Feb 20, 2007, (Carnaval) in Autlan, Jalisco, MX. It was the first bullfight for me - not for the squeamish, but the ceremony and ritual, as well as the ballet-like movements of the matador, made it an experience I will never forget.
