I picked up the rerelease on DVD of Carlos Saura's "Flamenco". I'd forgotten how intense La Paquera's opening to the buleria was! One thing I've been trying to figure out for a while is the identity of the fourth singer in that bulerias. The gentleman is thin with long wild hair and a large bushy beard. His appearance is a little unkept and dishevelled (relative to many of the others in the shot that are in their "Sunday best"). He's standing directly behind Moraíto's chair. His voice is incredible, kind of like a more powerful, slightly higher version of Capullo's voice. I think it's El Torta but when I look around for other photos of him I'm met with a VERY different appearing individual in recent photos. Ten years later and he's starting to look more like El Lebrijano or Terremoto now. Is this the same guy or have I gotten the identity mixed up? Anybody know who I'm referring to?

The interactive menu should help with the credits, does it not?

I paged through the menu, read the name (I think they're listed in appearance) but as I said, the photos I find of El Torta don't look anything like the fellow in the film. Hence my knee-jerk confusion. This is the same guy? https://www.flamenco-world.com/tienda/shop.php?&vshopferca=e73c795af415d7793f6453503b497e5b&op_shop=aut&id_aut=538&id_autcat=1

Same problem, love his voice, don't recognise him as El Torta but can't think who else is...maybe one of the locals could confirm... El Torta's singing in Cadiz tonight i think...curses.... The Craic's mighty but not logged in, well really just passing through...[&:]
