You may have probably seen five men clothed in black attire with dark spectacles and dancing with coffins on EDM track by Tony Igy “Astronomia.”
The pallbearers have become an international sensation and a meme. Their videos have been widely used on social media platform ‘tiktok’.
Even in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, photos of the Prampram pallbearers was plastered on billboards and banners in at least Brazil, urging people to stay home or join them as the corpse on their dancing retinue to the cemetery.
In Spain their signature tune was used as sirens during the lockdown.
In a recent interview on 3FM, the group indicated that their newfound fame might influence their rates after the coronavirus pandemic.
“The popularity we have received is booming our business now. We would increase our prices after the coronavirus. For now, we have a manager in Kenya and we have a lawyer too in Kenya,” the leader of the group said.
From the solemn act of carrying dead bodies to their final resting place, the group has turned it into a performance that attracts cheers from liberal-minded mourners to jeers or disdain from conservative people who believe funerals should be without fanfare.
The video posted by Trump has been viewed 208,000 times and shared 61,000 times four hours after it was posted Monday.
