"Astronomia" is a house song by Dutch electronic music duo Vicetone and Russian DJ and record producer Tony Igy, created as a remix of Igy's 2010 song with the same name.
[1] The original Astronomia song was released in Russia in 2010.
[2] Vicetone created a remix of the original song in 2014 and sent it to Tony Igy, who liked it.
[3] In 2020, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the song became the subject of the "Coffin Dance" internet meme, which involves the remix playing over a group of Ghanaian men dancing while carrying a coffin.
This was a common funeral tradition in Ghana and parts of Africa with the idea of sending off deceased loved ones in style, rather than in the usual western manner of mourning a loss.
