Sure it could. If Vicente Amigo was there to perform HIS composition with them.

Yes. Only espejo del Rio did he collaborate with lyrics. The album is argueably his best work, especilly the solea where he puts his own twist on the Serneta Solea (3). It is probably the most “flamenco” thing I have heard that was not 100% traditional (not including Tauromagia). Other good ones are with Remedios Amaya and El Pele.

Buleria larga, Joaquin 2 (sort of), buleria larga:
