Coronavirus: Peru police dance and carry coffin to raise awareness Peruvian police officers have found a novel way to raise awareness of the dangers of coronavirus during the pandemic. The BBC reporter who first featured the Dancing Pallbearers in his report in 2017 returned to interview Benjamin Aidoo in 2020. Two years have passed the original video upload, and the Pallbearers from Ghana has attracted the attention of BBC News. The coffin dancers made a video recently in which they thank doctors and health service workers for how they’re battling the coronavirus pandemic. They turn sad funerals into extravagant events! BBC Filmed a Documentary on the Coffin Dancers. They described them as dancers who are up for hire for mourners who want a more upbeat funeral. With their flamboyant dance moves with the coffin, these pallbearers leave every single person with smiles on their faces even during grieving occasions. In 2017, BBC Africa video journalist, Sulley Lansah witnessed one such funeral in Ghana and released a video. The Ghana coffin dancers — who have gone viral amid the coronavirus pandemic — have now issued a warning to everyone watching: stay home or dance with them. They uploaded two videos about the funeral dancers for hire, which trended in 2017. According to Aidoo, becoming a meme has been a net positive.
