A matador is a bullfighter who performs in a traditional Spanish bullfighting event known as a corrida de toros. The matador's role is to demonstrate skill and bravery while engaging with the bull, ultimately leading to the animal's death. This performance is often seen as a form of art, combining elements of dance and drama. The matador typically wears a distinctive outfit called a traje de luces, which translates to "suit of lights." This colorful attire is designed to be visually striking and is often adorned with intricate embroidery. The matador is supported by other team members, including banderilleros and peones, who assist during the fight.
