RE: What is the title of this bulerias? (in reply to JieXian)
I'm pretty sure it's not a bulería he recorded in one spot, just a collection of falsetas that show up in different places. For example, one of the ones at the beginning and another at the end are both in Viejo Mundo on Leyenda del Tiempo. He tends to reuse a lot of falsetas too when accompanying so you'll probably find some of these on several recordings. By the way, if you want to learn these, a few of them (including those two from Viejo Mundo, which are great falsetas) are on his Encuentro DVD!

And no, that's not Ricardo, that's Tomatito.
but yeah Ricardo posted that video.
In addition to the camaron recordings those falsetas are taken from, he also recorded a few of these on his first solo album "Rosas del Amor" the buleria is called "La Chanca". In this actual TV interview he plays two buleria and one is titled "Tamara" after one of his daughters, not sure if he meant this one or the other. The other buleria I have not heard recorded it is in F# like Taranta.

Ok, thaks. I really like this jumble of falsetas, especially what he does with the ending. The chord changes. I haven't studied flamenco but that part from 2:51 onwards, after the "chorus" sounded really different based on what I've listened.
btw what is the correct term for the "chorus"?
I heard PdL very sternly correct a guy who used the word canciòn in an interview for flamenco hahaha

of course I know that it's Tomatito ~.~
As you might know it's not really a chorus since just about every bulería uses those chords or and variations thereof between falsetas. Usually it's just referred to as the compás, which means "rhythm." It just sounds different at 2:51 after that last falseta because he's playing different chords to end off. Usually when you're ending a piece in flamenco you'll want to do something exciting, some different chord progression or whatever, with a big flourish at the end, to give it the feeling of being over.

Ya, I really like the change from Ab9 and Bb6/11 at the end (not sure if the name's correct). I have 19 bulerias tracks but many of them fade away or that the chord progression isn't as nice. Just trying to say that I really like this :D

at 2:53 to the end the chords are Bb7#11, he goes back and forth from major third to minor third (3rd and 2nd frets on B string), then Am7 pulling off to the 9th open B string, then Gm7, changing to the 9th on the first string 5th fret, then A at the 5th fret. The final is F major, Gm, Bb7/Ab, then A7 at 5th fret.
