El Fandi (born David Fandila Marín in Granada, Spain) is statistically one of the most skilled matadors in the world.

The brothers joined the Federación Española de Esquí where they competed in competitions; David left with a national title.

El Fandi faced many hardships early in his career, having to fight in many difficult bullrings, many of which were close to Madrid.

Later in that year, he made his introduction to the world of bullfighting in the Monumental de Las Ventas in Madrid where he cut one ear from his second bull, thus earning his first prize.

Around this time, Emilio Miranda Casas and Santiago López began to represent El Fandi in his career.

[2] That afternoon, while wearing protection on his right arm and fighting mainly with his left, El Fandi cut two ears and became a hero in Granada.

[citation needed] El Fandi was the subject of a documentary film entitled "The Matador" which received wide critical acclaim for its cinematography, editing, and musical score.

Currently these men make up El Fandi’s cuadrilla: A biographical movie titled 'The Matador' premieres at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March 2008.
