The clip comes from videos of dancing pallbearers in Ghana, a tradition led by Benjamin Aidoo where funerals are celebrated with music and choreography. Footage circulated online for years, including a 2017 BBC report, but it exploded as a meme in early 2020 on TikTok and YouTube. Editors paired the coffin procession with the electronic track Astronomia by Vicetone and Tony Igy, usually after a fail. In Spanish speaking communities it spread widely as negros del ataud, and the format remains a shorthand for a doomed ending.
