Your rasgueado sounds pretty good to me. For free stroke, you can still achieve a more percussive sound. It doesn’t always have to be like a waterfall. Just takes practice and some build up of strength in the fingers.

I guess anything is possible if you practice it! do you have any tips on the free rasgueos? I watched a Grisha's interview recently and even though i'm not a beginner (i'm actually a classical guitarist), i'm thinking about studying Juan Martin's method (i've studied Oscar Herreros's instructional videos, some Encuentro videos, etc), is it worth it?
Yes, you can practice free stroke one finger at a time at like 60bpm... ring, middle, index so that you can focus on getting an even percussive sound from each finger. Don’t try to hit all the strings with each stroke. You can practice this without the guitar too.
I can tell you Jaun Martin and Herrero don’t go over subdle details like this for any the techniques (which drove me crazy before the internet). You’d be better off taking a lesson or watching a lot of YouTube and experimenting.

Yeap, i already do that, and practice it even more without the guitar

Yeah, i get your point, i'd love to take some lessons but here in Brazil we don't have many flamenco teachers (the good ones are so expensive they don't even teach classes anymore, go figure it out) and online lessons with any guitarist outside would cost my kidney (the currency here is really undervalued).

Wonderful performance of Sabicas Farruca by Grisha. Does anyone know if this piece has been transcribed and available in book? I love Farruca and would like to learn this one. Thanks.
There are others on Scribd with TAB. There's a transcription on Alain Faucher's site, presumably TAB only. I have a number of Faucher's books, which I have generally found to be accurate.
