At the age of 12, Amos recorded his first CD, with the pianist Diego Amador as special guest. Amos is also in love with jazz, so in 2013 he decides to study in Ateneo Jazz Madrid. He has shared the stage with great flamenco artists and played in the main tablaos in Madrid and Barcelona. Abroad he has performed at major festivals such as Guitar Across the Styles Prague; Summer Festival Zagreb (Croatia); and as a guest in various festivals of Jazz in Havana.

In 2013 the documentary film Niños Flamencos, directed by Katherina Hager, shows moments of the life and the music of Amos Lora.
