Pasodoble

Pasodoble is a Spanish march-like musical style. This music is traditionally played at bullfights during the bullfighters' entrance (paseo) or during the passes (faena) just before the kill. It corresponds to the Pasodoble dance (traditional and ballroom).

Famous bullfighters have been honored with pasodoble tunes named after them. Others are inspired in patriotic motives or local characters.
