Meet Isaac and Nora, two French kids who are big in Latin American music

In 2019, an amateur video of two kids singing a Cuban bolero went viral on the internet. Three years later, the video of the song Veinte Años has been watched by millions on social media.
For the past month, Isaac and Nora have been on tour in Latin America. They're accompanied by their parents.

About 1,000 people came to see Isaac and Nora on a recent Saturday night at Mexico City's Sala Cantoral. The audience was mesmerized throughout the concert, especially when Nora spoke to them in Spanish. She told the audience: "It's the first time I sing and play on my own. I'm going to sing a song by Violeta Parra called and it's a bit strange I'm singing a song about being 17 since I'm only 10 years old."
