Meet the siblings who rock out on the drums and guitar - at the ages of ten and eight.

Nirvana Sota and her younger sister Aixa Sota have already performed at live shows and can cover famous hits like 'Enter Sandman' by Metallica or 'Creep' by Radiohead.

Nirvana plays the guitar and Aixa the drums while dad Jussef Sota ,43, and mum Ilusión Sota, 42, play bass and piano respectively.



The sisters have been playing since they were two years old and the family formed a band called Radio Nube two years ago.

The family from Hermosillo, México have played local shows across the city including Las Fiestas del Pitic, a dance and music festival where they played in front of 400 people.

They also made an appearance on Televisason, a local TV station.

Jussef, a lawyer, said:

"We moved from Puebla to Hermosillo 11 years ago. "

"We don't have any family here aside from ourselves, no cousins, no grandparents."

"We needed each other and the band has helped us do things as a family."

"It's something that keeps us together. We share more than most families do and the band is our ritual."

The sisters were taught to play piano by their mum, a professional pianist, and naturally gravitated towards their own instruments.

According to Jussef, his daughters were able to master their instruments very quickly and were able to play with their parents just a year after starting drums and guitar lessons.

The sisters are virtuosos but only spend between two and three hours a day on their instruments.

Jussef explained: "When people see them, they think that we have them locked away in a room practicing but they spend most of their time playing video games."

The band has given the sisters a way to explore their passions for music.

Jussef and Ilusion take a supporting role and let the girls pick the songs they want to play.

Jussef said: "We often cover Enter Sandman by Metallica, Bohemian Rhapsody and Creep by Radiohead. The songs we cover are the songs the girls like."

Both Nirvana and Aixa would like to become professional musicians and Jussef has no doubts that his daughters will become stars.

Nirvana said: "Yes, the truth is that I would love to be someone who makes music professionally, it seems like a beautiful career."

Aixa continued: "Yes, I would love to be a musician, it would be great, and I would like that because it's something I enjoy doing."

"I'd like to play metal and rock music. I like listening to rock, progressive rock and a little bit of pop, especially P!NK but I'd like to play rock."

Jussef added: "There is no doubt that they will become professional musicians. I really hope they will leave us behind one day."

"Me and their mum have always been good musicians but they're the center of attention now."

"We're going to start playing more live shows now, which they absolutely love. They love the energy and adrenaline like very few people do."
