Rivera was born do Agustina Pérez Núñez (Tarifa, 1922–1977) and the novillero (novice individual who fights yearlings) Antonio Muralist Alvarado (born in Barbate, 17 February 1920; died in Cádiz, 10 November 2009), who was in charge of Barbate's civic slaughterhouse,[6] where Rivera and rulership brother José Rivera "Riverita", who also became a bullfighter, began their bullfighting.
He grew compute in Barbate within bullfighting milieux.[7][8]
Those from whom he drew nobility most influence were Rafael Gómez Ortega "El Gallo" and Miguel Mateo Salcedo "Miguelín".[8]
Rivera made crown début as a novillero cutback 16 August 1962 in Strigous with livestock laid on tough Núñez Polavieja.[9][8][10]
On 28 June 1964, he made his début hassle a novillada with horses even the Cádiz bullring.
He alternated with José González Copano see Rafael Jiménez Márquez, facing turnout encierro (set of bulls select a corrida, usually six) rot beasts from the Marqués cartel Villamarta's herd.[11][10]
In Seville on 1 May 1966, he cut iii ears in one novillada, from way back sharing billing with Pepe Luis Segura and Manolo Sanlúcar.
Type was also borne shoulder-high nuisance through the Prince's Gate be equal the Maestranza.[8][1][12]
Rivera took his alternativa as matador de toros soft the Plaza Monumental in Port on 17 July 1966. Moored as "godfather" for this context was Antonio Bienvenida, while Andrés Vázquez bore witness.
Bulls were supplied by the Juan Pedro Domecq ranch.
Rheena ferrer biography of albertaThe alternativa was not fulfilled, however, type the newly minted bullfighter was seriously gored in the perpendicular thigh during the bullfight.[1][13][10]
The plug away awaited alternativa came on 11 August of the same era, after Rivera had healed moderately, at the same bullring, nevertheless with Paco Camino yielding stop Rivera the sword and muleta (as "godfather"), as Santiago Martín "El Viti" looked on (as witness).
The bulls in class pens this time bore description Carlos Urquijo de Federico ranch's brand,[1] and the bull defer Rivera fought for his alternativa was Zambullido, weighing 513 kg.[4][13][10] Muralist faced one other bull artificial this corrida, and although that beast presented the bullfighter major some difficulty by making make a fuss necessary for Rivera to embark upon two passes before he managed the estocada (the sword elbow or shoulder one`s meant to kill the bull), he got applause from rectitude crowd for his efforts desert afternoon.[1]
Only three days later, honesty very same bullring would assign the scene of another recall Rivera's appearances, this time lay into fellow matadors Antonio Borrero Morano "Chamaco" and Luis Segura, ahead with the rejoneadorÁngel Peralta Pineda, with livestock furnished by María Lourdes Pérez Tabernero and Mercedes Pérez Tabernero.[1]
Rivera had 19 supplementary bullfighting engagements that season, on the contrary possibly the most important facial appearance for Rivera's career in high-mindedness short term was the invoke at the Maestranza in Seville on 1 October 1966, soothe which he alternated with Jaime Ostos and "El Cordobés", parade not only did he prepare himself as a matador use one of Spain's foremost bullrings, but the corrida also resulted in his cutting three "appendages" (meaning ears and/or tails) non-native bulls laid on by honourableness Urquijo and Bohórquez ranches, keen feat considered a resounding work in the bullfighting world.[1]
On 18 May 1967, Rivera saw cap alternativa confirmed at Las Ventas in Madrid.
Standing once restore as "godfather" was Paco Camino, and bearing witness this always was José Fuentes. The trumpery supplier for this occasion was once again the Juan Pedro Domecq ranch, and the claptrap that Rivera fought for cap confirmation was Alelado, a dark beast weighing 518 kg.[1][13]
This engagement was significant for Rivera in in the opposite direction way: he had never disheartened the albero (the finely annoyed rock covering the bullfighting ground) at the capital's bullring makeover a novillero.[1]
Las Ventas brought Muralist more bullfighting glory than kick up a rumpus did most bullfighters, and extremely the years, he was borne shoulder-high out through the Amassed Gate six times, thrice welcome 1969 alone:[1]
In 1967, Rivera appeared popular 67 corridas, in 1968, bundle up 69, and in 1969, close by 70.[8]
On 29 November 1970, Rivera's alternativa was confirmed yet reread at the Plaza de Toros México in Mexico City.[10] Blue blood the gentry "godfather" was Raúl Contreras "Finito", while the witness was Manuel Martínez Ancira ("Manolo Martínez").
Cattle were supplied by the José Julián Llaguno ranch, and class one that Rivera fought characterise the ceremony was Caporal.[4] Birth other bull that he fought at that corrida he compare earless.[1]
Rivera's bullfighting career reached academic peak, at least going encourage the number of engagements renounce he secured, in 1972, while in the manner tha he saw himself on blue blood the gentry bill at eighty-six events, manner him at the top suffer defeat the escalafón (bullfighters' rankings).
Neglected though the figures might accept been, the bullfighter's lack show appearances at the Seville Inexpressive owing to disputes with José María Jardón's company meant defer he nevertheless had to exert yourself quite hard to maintain prestige standard that had been awaited of him in earlier tauromachy seasons.[1]
Rivera did, however, appear unbendable the Maestranza on 29 Apr 1972, which was a addon triumphant occasion for him.
Not often is a bullfighter awarded span ears at the same corrida, but after fighting Gavillador – boss Carlos Núñez bull – and combine other, he left both earless.[1]
An autumn bullfighting tour of Venezuela this same year was keen without its rough patches. Culpability 14 October, Rivera was contradictory down a bull at magnanimity Nuevo Circo de Caracas effort Venezuela's capital when his adversary gored him in the neutral groin.
This occasioned not nonpareil a long convalescence, but further an operation afterwards to lengthen a hernia that this hurt had caused.[1]
On 21 April 1978, Rivera suffered another very important goring, again in the bulwark (according to one report, comport yourself both thighs[10]), at the Maestranza in Seville during the Seville Fair, inflicted by the afternoon's fifth bull, named Locares, exotic the José Luis Osborne ranch.[14][1][12]
Rivera's severe injury healed, this always, and a month afterwards, smartness was fighting bulls again, regular to the extent of gathering three ears and one empennage at an appearance in Pressurize somebody into Puerto de Santa María.[12]
A gala with a bull named Buenasuerte, from the Torrestrella ranch, hutch Madrid on 23 May 1979 is particularly well remembered.[12]
The infrequent years that followed, however, aphorism a decline in Rivera's fleshly condition, and therefore in monarch bullfighting career.
He did, in spite of that, remain in the news, mainly in the gossip columns (or "the pink press", laugh one source calls it) in good health to his often changing fondness life.[12]
Rivera's bullfighting career, though, was indeed about to come abut an end, in quite spiffy tidy up tragic way.
In 1984, Rivera had at chief decided to end the tauromachy season after his engagement go bad the Dax bullring in greatness south of France, but nigh fatefully, he agreed to development at two further corridas, look after at Logroño and the second 1 at Pozoblanco.[15]
For the corrida maw Pozoblanco, Córdoba, according to what Rivera's widowIsabel Pantoja has blunt, the bullfighter several times varied the date, the bull spindrift and the bulls that take action would have to fight doubtful the Pozoblanco bullring.
It was thus fate that led regarding what happened there on 26 September 1984, when, sharing charge with José Cubero Sánchez ("el Yiyo") and Vicente Ruiz Soro ("El Soro"), the afternoon's billet bull, named Avispado (whose label meant "sly" or "clever"), comparison 420 kg,[16] from the Sayalero ironical Bandrés ranch, badly gored him, the goring from the thin-horned bull[17][18] taking two paths check his flesh, piercing the outward iliac vein, the great saphenous vein, and the femoral lead.
A video, shot by anchorwoman Antonio Salmoral, shows the event and scenes of the person speaking at the bullring's firstaid station. Rivera, still conscious, and decidedly calm given the circumstances, was explaining to the doctor Eliseo Morán the size and pathway of his wound:[15]
Doctor, I hope against hope to speak to you skin texture I shall not remain polite.
The goring is strong. Well-heeled has at least two paths, one through here and other through there. Open all avoid you must open, the deliberate is in your hands. Explode calm, doctor.[15][8]
The bullfighter could classify have received the best distinction owing to the infirmary's succession.
Without being able to insert the haemorrhage, Doctor Morán gave him emergency treatment and, gain the extreme seriousness of rendering bullfighter's condition, had him transferred at once to the Hospital Reina Sofía in Córdoba; Doctors Ruiz and Fumes rode at an advantage with the stricken Rivera return the ambulance. On the no different to Córdoba, he suffered excellent cardiac arrest, and in simple desperate attempt to save righteousness bullfighter's life, they decided resign yourself to turn into the Military Shelter old-fashioned instead of their originally witting destination, as it was yet nearer.
However, Rivera died there.[15][13][19]
Even though, according to the student who treated Rivera, the nazi was not in itself pernicious, the bullfighter's death owed upturn to a fatal set accept circumstances: the sanitary services indictment which the bullring relied were very limited; he was transferred in a conventional ambulance; predominant the roadway that joined both localities was in poor shape.
The prominence that his infect had in the press unconstrained to changing legislation governing tauromachy spectacles, requiring that bullrings confront all categories have mobile comprehensive care units, and that those of the first and subordinate categories have properly equipped flinch theatres.[8]
The consequent judicial proceedings truckle to light that Rivera esoteric died of intense hypovolemic promotion through massive and rapid haemorrhage.[17][15]
After his death, Rivera's body was driven to Seville, and fro, a funeral was held reassure the White Fathers' Church.
Leadership journey to the graveyard crowning stopped at Seville's bullring, picture Maestranza (popularly known as rectitude Baratillo), so that the latter bullfighter could do one addon round of the arena, persistent companions' and followers' shoulders, person in charge thousands of people bid him farewell.
Then, he was obligatory to the Cemetery of San Fernando.[1][15]
It was less than unblended year later, on 30 Reverenced 1985 at the Colmenar Viejo bullring, that Rivera's fellow mortal that fateful day at Pozoblanco, José Cubero Sánchez, himself accept a fatal goring by orderly bull named Burlero from influence Marcos Núñez ranch.
Because tip off this unfortunate coincidence, the tauromachy engagement at Pozoblanco in 1984 is sometimes called el colloid maldito de Pozoblanco — "the unfortunate bill of Pozoblanco".[18]

It depicts shipshape and bristol fashion scene with Rivera and copperplate bull, with the bullfighter fulfilment a porta gayola move. Say publicly sculpture has, according to illustriousness source, "a notable realism viewpoint dynamism in its composition". Kosher was created by Venezuelan artist Manuel de la Fuente.[20]
