You may well have wondered about the sudden trumpet phrase followed by cheers during the World Cup, which became the sound of the World Cup, a signature tune of sorts. Jean-Roger Delsaud of Midi Olympique tells us what that was all about. It comes from Spain and is heard in the local Spanish "ferias", which means feasts. The trumpet sound is the beginning of a famous Spanish "paso-doble", paso-doble (two step) being a typical piece of Spanish music played by "wind" instruments (trumpets, saxophones, etc) and suited to the sound, drama, and movement of the Spanish bullfight. The words of this paso-doble beginning are: "Toca, toca la guitarra, Manuel" (Play, play the guitar, Manuel). At the end of the trumpet sound, everyone shouts "Olé", which is a typical Spanish shout heard especially during the "corridas" (bull fighting) when the torero is doing a very good "pass" (yes, it is the same word as in Rugby.) French rugby, which is mainly played in the south west of France has taken a lot of music, songs from Spain or Spanish "ferias".
