Encuentro is GREAT! I have them all. For beginners, for traditional falsetas and for learning the different palos Merengue de Cordoba is great. If you wanna get into bulerias Moraíto is a good one. Gerardo Nunez has a lot of great technique exersizes in his. Some of the falsetas, like Tomatitos bulerias or Chicuelos alegrias, are quite complex compared to JM or Paco Pena. Studying them closely helped me learn a lot of new chords for flamenco and a lot about compás and syncopation, though. Still it's maybe better to have a good understanding of compás and intermediate technique before getting going on some of the more advanced stuff.
