I think the correct title for this El Cumbanchero, which is Spanish slang for The Drunkard (or maybe, The Party Animal).
That being said, this was quite a formidable bluegrass version! That I know of, there are at least two other versions of El Cumbanchero posted here at BHO: one by Violanjo (banjo and violin), and another one done on a 4-string tenor/plectrum banjo. Neither are bluegrass, but they are easier to recognize versions of the original.
YouTube has some nice versions. The one that blew me away was by the Tuttle kids, an 8-year-old mandolinist, and a 10-year-old guitarist (accompanied by their sister on guitar) who smoked through this after a couple false starts.
And here's one that to me both sounds bluegrassy and uncannily faithful to the original:
