arghton 6,719 Posted September 29, 2023 On 10/06/2023 at 19:05, arghton said: El Cordobés, Manuel Benítez Pérez (1936) Possibly the most legendary Spanish bullfighter of the 1960s who by the time he retired in 1971 (not permanently) was the highest paid bullfighter ever. Known especially from his theatrical, acrobatic style. Manuel Díaz González, bullfighter and son of THE bullfighter El Cordobés (both called El Cordobés for whatever reason) hospitalised after an accident (impaled by a bull, apparently). He's in his 50s and an active bullfighter and he's had around 5 accidents since 2017 including last month when he was in ICU and on IV meds, he has two hip replacements but seems he just can't retire. (Benítez Pérez) El Cordobés himself had an emergency heart surgery some years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giddes/Giddess/Gidesi Chalamanda performing again for the first time since his serious illness in June, "impeccably in tune with the band and even commanded the rhythm". He and Eritrean Bereket Mengisteab seem indestructible. Both very old, quite frail and the most notable musicians ever from their (small, obscure and very low on the HDI) countries, both still performing. I think with both of them there's a small chance of a BBC obituary as I recall a lot of quite obscure African musicians have gotten mentions when they've died. Some examples, John Nzenze and Hudeidi in 2020, Tshala Muana and Ethiopia's Honky Tonk Nun last year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
