Jose Tomas Gored in Linares
Jose Tomas took a horn yesterday in Linares. While it was described as "grave" he was able to finish the bull. If you want to see the details (although you can't see that much, for instance, the actual wound, but you can get a good idea of how the horn picked him up, and you can see one of his bandarilleros making a bandage out of his necktie), click on the video, below:
And, of course, when you see what those horns can do, it puts stuff like this in perspective (the following is El Cordobes, whom I have never seen. In fact, this clip is about all I have seen, but the perpetual debate over this figura has flared up again on Mundo-Taurino, so it is about time I learned more about El Cordobes and his Salto de Rana, seen here):

No, I don't know. I will have to do a little digging around. I will let you know what I find out. Probably the best source to talk to would be David Costa, who lives in Artesia. He directs a fine Azoran bullfight orchestra, and is a good guy.
By the way, I enjoyed your notes about journalism on MT the other day.

Do you know what the title is of the music that is playing at least during the last thirty seconds of the video?
I've heard it many times, but would like to know its title.
Thanks
