Recommend me some flamenco to learn!

hi guys,
I'm a intermediate flamenco guitarist (or think I am :P)
and I would like some new stuff to learn, but dont know what exactly.
I've learned tomatito's l'ardilla past months and some other ,simple, tomatito buleria falsetas. Could you guys recommend me some other songs which are suitable for the intermediate guitarist? Or maybe some books which are good?i'm not sure what to buy, from which booksdo u have learned a lot?
Anyone got the Falseta collection vol 1/2 ? i might want to buy it but i dont know if the falseta are good and well transcriped.

this book
or maybe paco's "fuente y caudal" book??
thanks in advance

Caminillo Viejo is worth trying.
Not too difficult but sounds great.
Pepe Habichuela is playable as well, but you have to get his tone in order to play it properly, which is hard.
Try El Dron or Recordando Esencias - very nice.

yohan,

I think that's difficult without hearing how you play in the first place...

Upload something.

cheers,

Ron

@Bursche
thanks, I've never really listen to pepe habichuela, so i'm going to check him out
@Ron
I think I'm intermediate but (of course) I'm also still working on basic techniques.
I might upload a part of l'ardilla if I can play it well enough. hopefully in a month.

From which books you guys have learned (or learning) a lot?
