Everything you need to know about the dancing pallbearers that are going viral !!!


The dancing pallbearers are the latest viral meme trend of 2020 and here is everything that you need to know about them.


Here is the original clip of the meme trend that is viral all over the internet. This video was uploaded on BBC News Africa's Youtube channel on July 27, 2017. The Description of the video reads as,

Pallbearers are lifting the mood at funerals in Ghana with flamboyant coffin-carrying dances. Families are increasingly paying for their services to send their loved ones off in style.



The pallbearers in this particular video were dancing at the funeral of Elizabeth Annan’s mother. Elizabeth told reporters that she chose dancing pallbearers because she wanted to ‘give [her mum] a dancing trip to her maker’.

Benjamin Aidoo, who leads the dancing pallbearer troupe, told the broadcaster: ‘I decided to add choreography to it so if the client comes to us, we just ask them: “Do you want it solemn or do you want a bit more of a display? Or maybe you want some choreography on it?” ‘They just ask and we do it.’

Benjamin also says that he started this to reduce the unemployment in Ghana. As of 2017 when this video was recorded, Benjamin already had employed 100 people.
Well after seeing this video I have a question for you, is there any better way to say goodbye? Do let me know in comment section below.

BUT HEY! JUST WAIT!

DID I FORGET SOMETHING?

OH YES!!! WHAT ABOUT THE CATCHY TRACK THAT WAS BEING PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND?

Okay, so I found it as well. The name of the song is Astronomia. It was produced by Dutch music artist duo( Ruben den Boer and Victor Pool from Groningen) named Vicetone & Russian music artist Tony Igy and was released in 2010 under an album named after the song.

It was uploaded on youtube on July 9, 2014, on Vicetone's Youtube channel. The song has become a big hit after this meme went viral with comments of people flooding with messages like "Who else came here after watching the pallbearers video?". The video so far has been viewed more than 35 million times.
