levante letra confusion

Does anybody which style he sings here?
minera,taranto or something else?

and is this a minera?

Is there a reason why paco does not go back to D and stays on G at 1:30 of the camaron record?

Thanks!
That's not the question, in levante (and malaguena) you resolve to D and don't stay on the G chord (you stay on G only at the end of the letra right before the F#) Paco don't resolve to D in this case, listen to other records, he never stays on G.
I would like to know if there is any reason for that.

It's a special style where the tradition will dictate this type of move. It's not wrong to do as you describe either, but to prove PDL is not "wrong" for holding the G chord see Cepero here at 3:15:

Another thing is certain cantaores might encounter a "new" or "wrong" tono that they actually prefer and will instruct the guitarist to give them the specific variation before the Record button is pressed. This has happened to me with cantaores many times during rehearsals.

I would have gone with "thank you for answering my question Ricardo"
but whatever...
