This is the viral moment with over 7.9 million views a sweet OAP dances to a Daddy Yankee reggaeton song with a ciggie in her hand alongside her nine-year-old great-granddaughter.

The footage has exploded on Facebook with over 5.2 million views in two days after the girl’s mother Mariela Casco posted it on her page, and even the singer Daddy Yankee, whose song is heard in the video, shared it on his Instagram account where it currently has 2.6 million views.

The clip features the Puerto Rican rapper’s latest release ‘Que Tire Pa’ ‘Lante’ (‘Keep Moving Forward’). The music video for the song has been viewed 18.5 million times on YouTube since it was uploaded on 17th October.

In the footage, cute Lara is seen playing the song in the kitchen as her 77-year-old great-grandmother Ana cooks in the background.

While the nine-year-old bops around the room, Ana eventually starts moving her shoulders before dropping some serious dance moves with a cigarette in her hand.

Mariela Casco told local media: “They are always filming themselves, but this time they used my phone.

“Ana is the most beautiful thing we have in the family. She is an adorable person who dedicates her life to her family.”

The song’s artist Daddy Yankee even shared the viral footage on his Instagram account where it has been viewed a further 2.6 million times.

He wrote alongside: “How great is it to inject joy to all generations. Two generations dancing like one to the same song.”

Netizen ‘Magaly Escalona’ commented: “Such a beautiful grandmother. I hope God takes care of her.”

‘Andrea Barraza’ said: “Lovely! So much life and love in this. It puts me in a good mood and makes me connect with the music.”
