I have just stumbled upon this incredible Italian resource for flamenco letras.
http://depaloenpalo.wordpress.com
Letras are divided by palo and region with multiple examples given in both text and audio. Even if you don't understand Italian, the information is clear with letras written in bold or italicized text and audio provided by youtube clips. Often a discography or links for further study are listed at the bottom of a palo's page.
A very in-depth look into cante flamenco. Ole!
(If you just attended Stephanie Pedraza's tangos cante workshop, there's a page all about Tangos de El Titi, including the videos she referenced of Miguel Poveda and Esperanza Fernandez - http://depaloenpalo.wordpress.com/2012/10/05/tangos-de-sevilla-tangos-de-el-titi-de-triana)

Letras website
Thanks to Flamenco Regina's new website, I have just come across an incredible website resource for letras.
http://www.bottegaflamenca.it
Under "per tutti" (for everyone) on the left hand side, there are two links:
"Repertorio Flamenco" - links to some pages already listed here on flamencoedmonton and, when you scroll down, it also lists letras grouped by melody. If you click on the name of each singer (in green) it will take you to the audio of the letra listed below it.
"Discografia Flamenca" - links to a list of CDs. Click on the titles and you can open a word document with all of the letras.
