Level: Open Class Percussion

Death In The Afternoon is the classic tale of Matador VS Bull. We follow the journey and ceremony of the entire event through the soundtrack of “Heat Of The Day” by Pat Metheny, “Paint It Black” by the Rolling Stones, and “Bulls On Parade” by Rage Against The Machine. This tale has its fair share of drama and twists as we anxiously await who will win this epic battle.
