G6 tuning

I am learning a piece called Mantillas de Feria
by Estaban de Sanlucar and arr. by Juan Serrano.

The 6th string is tuned down to D and
the 5th string down to G.

I'm looking for other flamenco pieces with this tuning
so I don't retune for just one piece.

Any help is appreciated.

RE: G6 tuning (in reply to oc chuck)

I played it years ago but have since forgotten it, not having any solo gigs for years now.

It is inspired by this arrangement probably by Tarrega or someone:

Raphael Riquini has Garrotin:

He teaches that in his Encuentro video. Other than those three I am not sure. Tomatito has Colombiana but I can't recall the exact tuning there.
