WHAT DOES BANDERILLERO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

banderillero

Torero

A torero or toureiro is a bullfighter and the main performer in bullfighting, practised in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France and various other countries influenced by Spanish culture. In Spanish, the word torero describes any of the performers who actively participate in the bullfight. The main performer is the leader of an entourage and the one who kills the bull, being addressed as maestro and his formal title is matador de toros, but the word "matador" by itself is not used in Spanish. The term torero encompasses all who fight the bull in the ring. The other bullfighters in the entourage are called subalternos and their suits are embroidered in silver as opposed to the matador's more-theatrical gold. An alternative word for torero is toreador in English, but this term is not used in Spanish. It was invented by Georges Bizet for his opera Carmen. He needed the syllables of the word to match the timing of the song. A very small number of women have been bullfighters on foot or on horseback; one recent example being Cristina Sánchez.
