A reggaeton singer hired for the funeral provided the upbeat music the grieving woman danced to while funeral-goers cheered her on.
Dressed in black, the widow is captured rubbing her behind on the life-sized printout of her late partner in Peru.
Onlookers are heard whooping and cheering her on at the funeral.
And even the sad event's entertainment - a singer known as El Cangri del Callao - was egging on the widow during his performance.
He even encourages fellow mourners to join in the raunchy dance at the wake.
The singer later shared the unbelievable clip on his Instagram page, where it went viral with 4.3 million views and thousands of comments.
One local said: 'Hi bro, I'm going to die on 23 July.
'Are you available?'
Another added: 'They are very young, but in my time we cried at funerals.'
'Widow finds five new loves... at the wake', someone joked.
And: 'We can see how that stupid music makes people stupid.'

One other comment pointed out how a "farewell should be joyful, not sad".
While a fellow performer said: "I've performed funerals and wakes, but always from a very different tone to what this video shows.
"I've never had the opportunity to capture a farewell from such a luminous, vivid perspective.'
Meanwhile, a mere few days ago, the haunting moment a teen gave a tearful funeral eulogy to her slain mother and stepdad that later made her the prime suspect in their murder was captured.
Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, now faces two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection to the shootings of Kristin Brock, 41, and James Brock, 45.
The chilling video of Patrick's eulogy shows the teen in a pale blue dress, standing before mourners at the lectern of the Catalyst Church in Carollton, Georgia.
She said: 'I just wanted to say goodbye to my mom and James since we never got the chance to.'
Patrick called her mother a 'beautiful kind soul' and told mourners she'd always be her 'sunshine'.
Now, the same speech that drew tears from the crowd is drawing scrutiny from law enforcement.

Ecuador bloodbath as 12 civilians are gunned down in a bar and beauty queen is shot dead in her car amid escalating drug war violence
A former beauty queen is among the dead as bloody gang violence continues to grip Ecuador. Armed attackers killed at least 14 civilians, including a 12-year-old boy, in two separate attacks on Sunday in coastal areas of the South American nation. The attackers, travelling in two pickup trucks, shot at civilians with pistols and rifles, in the latest murder spree to hit the state which is being ravaged by drug cartel violence. An initial attack, in the southwestern town of El Empalme, saw 12 dead and three injured, the town's police chief Major Oscar Valencia said. The same attackers later fired at a second group, killing two more people as they shot indiscriminately. 'They opened fire on everyone,' Valencia said Dead bodies were shockingly left strewn in a covered entrance of a liquor store, while dozens of relatives sat weeping on the sidewalk across the street. Investigators found at least 40 pieces of ballistic evidence at the scene. The deadly attacks come just a day after a model and former beauty queen was shot dead in an ambush in Manta, a port city on Ecuador's central coast. Esther Gabriela Murillo Cruz, who won three local beauty competitions, becoming Queen of the Manabi province in 2018, was driving in her car with her partner and one-year old daughter when two armed men on a motorbike fatally attacked her. The pillion passenger pulled out a gun before shooting at the vehicle at 3am on Saturday. The 25-year-old was taken to a local hospital with gunshot wounds to her vital organs, before being declared dead. Her 30-year-old partner was injured and taken to hospital, while the baby's condition is unconfirmed. Authorities have not confirmed whether Murillo was the attackers' intended target and an investigation is underway to determine the motive. Meanwhile, just a week ago, nine people were murdered while playing pool in the General Villamil tourist resort. Gunmen were chasing two men on a motorcycle in the town of Playas before one tried to hide in a pool hall. The gunmen then burst in and fired indiscriminately. Ecuador had managed to remain relatively peaceful for decades, despite bordering the notorious cocaine hotspots of Colombia and Peru, but violence has markedly increased in recent years. Transnational cartels which use the nation's ports to ship drugs to the US and Europe have been blamed for the rise in murders, as they battle to gain control of the lucrative routes. Up to 73 per cent of nationwide cocaine production passes through Ecuador, while the country seized 294 tons of drugs last year, a rise of 221 from the previous year. Security was viewed as a key issue in the presidential election which took place earlier this year, with Daniel Noboa winning re-election. President Noboa has vowed to crack down on the criminal gangs tearing the nation apart. Last year he declared war on organized crime but it has failed to stem high murder rates, with 4,051 people killed in the first five months of 2025.

Strictly Come Dancing 2025 dancers arrive at rehearsals for new series after new pros are announced
STRICTLY Come Dancing's class of 2025 were all smiles as they arrived at rehearsals – ready to tango into a brand new season. The glitzy stars, including fan favourites and fresh new pros, were snapped heading into the studio after this year's full line-up was officially confirmed. 10 With sequins at the ready and the countdown to launch night on, it's clear the competition is already heating up behind the scenes. Strictly Come Dancing has signed two new dancers for the 2025 series. Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon will join the BBC show later this year. The pair were all smiles as they beamed and waved at the camera as they arrived at the dance studio to meet the other dancers for their first rehearsal. Alexis nailed off-duty glam in an oversized khaki shirt, round dark sunnies and a chic brown leather bag slung over her shoulder. Her fiery red locks were swept into a high ponytail, falling in effortless waves. By her side, Julian kept things cool in a fitted black tee and matching trousers, with his dark hair slicked back for a sleek finish. Both are familiar faces on the global Dancing With The Stars circuit and bring a wealth of performance experience to the UK version. Alexis made a name for herself in the US when she won So You Think You Can Dance in 2022. She was the first female ballroom and Latin specialist to take the title, earning the title of America's Favourite Dancer. Since then, she's performed as a troupe member and guest pro on the American Dancing With The Stars, as well as touring with the show for the past three years. Her credits include America's Got Talent, World of Dance, and multiple live tours with DWTS judge Derek Hough, including his Las Vegas residency. Julian, who grew up in Australia, began dancing at the age of 10 and has represented his country at international level in both ballroom and Latin styles. He's appeared as a professional on three seasons of Dancing With The Stars Australia and has toured worldwide with Burn The Floor. Giovanni Pernice Strictly scandal timeline October 2023: Amanda abruptly withdraws from Strictly having already missed one live show. Her departure is announced in a vague BBC statement that 'wishes her the best'. Giovanni posts a short message on social media addressing the exit, which read: "Amanda… I am so sad we can't continue but I am proud of what we achieved and I am sending you so much love.' Amanda then shares her own farewell statement on Instagram thanking co-stars but failing to mention Gio. Giovanni's dad Piero insists there were no signs of a fall out and the pairing could have gone all the way. He praised his son as kind and polite. November 2023: Giovanni is reportedly gutted by the situation and is considering his Strictly future as questions are raised about his conduct. January 2024: Amanda's PTSD diagnosis comes to light and she demands CCTV from rehearsals to prove that Giovanni's training methods weren't acceptable. The BBC issues a statement defending its duty of care to contestants, insisting it takes any claims of wrongdoing very seriously. The Corporation stands by its man after emergency meeting March 2024: Giovanni publicly states he has no intention of leaving Strictly in a TV interview with close pal Anton du Beke. Ranvir Singh and Laura Whitmore enter the picture. Allegedly the two celebs, who were both previously partnered with Giovanni on Strictly, didn't feel the BBC took their issues with his methods seriously enough. The pair have a closed meeting with Amanda where tears are said to be shed. May 2024: We reveal Giovanni is leaving the programme after having talks with show bosses He leaves the country with girlfriend Molly Brown on holiday The BBC launches an internal investigation after three complainants instruct lawyers. A source describes it as a "nightmare situation". He also competed on the Australian edition of So You Think You Can Dance. Alongside his dance career, Julian holds a degree in Exercise Physiology from UNSW Sydney and has worked as a personal trainer. The duo join a returning cast of professionals that includes Dianne Buswell, Gorka Marquez, Katya Jones, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Vito Coppola, Amy Dowden, Nancy Xu, Karen Hauer, Jowita Przystal, Luba Mushtuk, Carlos Gu, Johannes Radebe, Lauren Oakley, Aljaž Škorjanec and Michelle Tsiakkas. Dianne will be back after winning last year's series with comedian Chris McCausland. Amy, who withdrew early from the 2024 run due to a foot injury, is also confirmed to return. Carlos and Kai Widdrington will be back as well, despite not being partnered with celebrities in the last series. Giovanni Pernice, however, will not be returning this year. The Italian dancer, who was previously a regular fixture on the show, was absent last year and has faced allegations relating to behaviour in the rehearsal room. Graziano Di Prima has also left the show following a separate complaint involving Love Island's Zara McDermott. Sarah James, executive producer at BBC Studios, said: 'We've been big fans of Alexis and Julian for some time so it's with great excitement that we now welcome them both to the Strictly family. "They're two incredible dancers with bright futures ahead of them, and we know viewers are going to love getting to know them both.' The celebrity cast for the new season will be announced in the coming weeks. 10 10 10 10 10 10 10

Missionaries are secretly evangelising uncontacted Amazonian tribes by planting Bible-reciting audio devices in remote rainforest, probe reveals
Bible-preaching devices have turned up in a remote indigenous village, sparking fears that Christian missionary groups are targeting uncontacted and isolated tribes, despite strict bans. According to reports, solar-powered devices with audio recitals of Biblical passages in Portuguese and Spanish have been spotted among the Korubo people. The tribe, who live in the Javari valley, near the Brazil-Peru border, are under strict protection by the Brazilian government. Military police stationed near the protected region have also reported mysterious drones flying overhead, according to a joint investigation by The Guardian and Brazilian newspaper O Globo. Sgt Cardovan da Silva Soeiro said he was ordered to shoot them down but was unable to. He said: 'I aimed my rifle, but the drone fled at high speed. It seemed very sophisticated.' He also reported the presence of missionaries believed to be associated with Jehovah's Witnesses in nearby towns. Before the pandemic, a group of American and Brazilian evangelicals were accused of plotting to reach the Korubo using seaplanes to map trails and locate their settlements. A court order barred them from entering Indigenous land. The small yellow and black devices are distributed by In Touch Ministries, with one reciting a line from Philippians that encourages listeners to reflect on the death of Apostle Paul. The evangelical group's head, Seth Grey, has confirmed that the devices are indeed meant for indigenous groups and are loud enough to be heard by up to 20 people. They feature inspirational talks by an American Baptist and can even work off-grid, due to their solar-powered nature. Locals say that seven devices, called Messenger, have been discovered so far. But only one has been photographed. A message on the device says: 'Let's see what Paul says as he considers his own life in Philippians chapter 3, verse 4: "If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more".' Grey has claimed to have delivered 48 of the devices to another tribe, but says his organisation do not enter areas where contact is forbidden. He added that he is aware of missionaries who wander into places where they are prohibited. The Brazilian government prohibits any form of proselytising in Indigenous territories unless the community initiates contact. The Korubo are considered a recently contacted group and remain highly vulnerable to outside influence and disease, against which they have no immunity. As a result of their recently contacted status, missionary groups are keen to make contact and preach the gospel to them. The device is now in the possession of Mayá, the matriarch of the Kurobo community, who has refused to hand over the device to authorities. For years, missionary groups have tried to convert indigenous people to Christianity. One of the most infamous cases of this is that of John Allen Chau, who in 2018 was killed by the Sentinelese people after going into the territory in an attempt to preach to them. In April, Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, an American tourist, was arrested for trying to make contact the the same group that killed Chau.
