Some amazing videos

Paco en San Sebastian:

This is unbelievable. I have never ever heard anything like this, even from a force of nature like Paco. Truly amazing. I recognize the fandangos de huelva at the end, but can anyone reference the other parts? It seems to be a mix of some sort. Help is appreciated.

Fiesta por bulerias (Paquera, Fernando de la Morena, Barullo, Torta, Moraito, etc...) from Saura's movie:

Solea (Chocolate, Farruco, Farruquito) from Saura's movie:

Tango (Paco et al) from Saura's movie:

RE: Some amazing videos (in reply to Tenshu)

this is a combination of pieces that he plays in almost all of his concerts...
it starts out with the intro of "Tema de Amor", leading into Callejón del Muro, which he combines later with Llanos del Real (both mineras)...then Montino, fandango...

another fascinating (for me) combination of his pieces the way he puts all of his rondenas together and plays it/them as an introduction to his concerts (the pieces are Camarón, Mi Nino Curro, Doblan Campanas & Cueva del Gato, roughly in this order, taking some of the most important falsetas)

Paco has been doing that mixed solo for a long time. He still does a mix of minera and fandangos like this. He improvises a bit mixing between Llanos del Real and Callejon del muro. The fandangos is mainly Montiño with bits of Aires Choqueros. He moves from G# phrygian to E phrygian in a similar way in his piece "Chiquito". There are some other little themes in there similar to "Zyrab", which i think he used in a movie soundtrack or something. But the formula of this solo piece is pretty standard part of his rep since early 80's.
