The bands (Filarmónica) provide beautiful traditional music during a bullfight. Such styles include a Paso Dobles Taurinos, Marchas/Marches, and Pecas de Concerto/ Concert Pieces. It can motivate the bullfighter to do better as well as add excitement to the crowd.

The one thing I learned while researching each band was that they are all very supportive of one another. It brings a sense of harmony within the Portuguese communities.
