Since then, however, Sanchez says her male counterparts have effectively blackballed her from choice venues. "The bullfighting world is made by and for men," she said, "but I still have the pride that I've made history." And she'll have the severed ears...

...audience, bowing what looked to be a broken birdcage, then moved by turns to something resembling a giant pencil sharpener and something else resembling a strip of Venetian blind. The sounds were quite fresh but didn't add up to anything organic to challenge the brain beyond the ear. Glennie's infallible sense of rhythm, however, made for some breathtaking-polyrhythmic feats...
