Sibling Latin music sensations Isaac et Nora aren’t easy to pin down for an interview. For starters, they live in the pottery-making town of Quimper, in the part of France that juts into the Atlantic. Secondly, the time difference between Australia and France means it’s often past their bedtime.
Viral phenomena often quickly flame out but Nora and Isaac, now 12 and 15 respectively, seem to be playing a longer game. The pair became an internet sensation in 2019, with a YouTube video of them performing a 1930s Cuban classic, Veinte Años (Twenty Years), hitting 7.8m views. Nora was only nine at the time; a native French speaker, she learned the Spanish lyrics phonetically.
