Isaac and Nora travel to Colombia, land of cumbia and vallenato, where they learn the basic rhythms of cumbia with young musicians their age in one of the suburbs of the capital.
Synopsis
Isaac and Nora record another essential Latin American folk song – “Dos gardenias” by Antonio Machin with Mexican musicians, for their new album.
Isaac and Nora travel to Colombia, land of cumbia and vallenato, where they learn the basic rhythms of cumbia with young musicians their age in one of the suburbs of the capital. They reveal a less artistic side, delving into how a modest family has managed to combine unexpected success, the life of recognized artists, and the day-to-day academic studies.
In Medellin, Isaac and Nora visit the Carlos Gardel Museum. The Argentine star died in a plane crash in this city, now one of the world centers for his figure and Argentine tango.
The episode ends with a concert where Isaac and Nora cover the vallenato “La lejanía” by Alejandro Meza, one of the greatest exponents of traditional Colombian music

"The Latin American repertoire rescued by Isaac & Nora includes classic authors who are not often explored by younger generations (especially in Europe, of course) like Violeta Parra, Julio Jaramillo, Luis Demetrio, María Teresa, and Agustín Lara." - Sebastián Ramos, The Rolling Stones/La Nacion
"Isaac and Nora, aged 13 and 11, have become a sensation thanks to the videos they have posted with their father on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook, which have garnered several million views. It is their wonderful childlike voices, singing boleros and classic Latin American songs, that have captivated audiences around the world." - El Periodista
"It is said that music is the only universal language, and the Restoin family proves this with the success of their Spanish-language music coming from France. Isaac and Nora are the protagonists of this story." - Alejandro Puga, Expreso
