"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. It was released on 9 July 2014.[1]
Reception
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 pallbearers 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.[3][4] The song is also the walk-on song of darts player Gian van Veen, world number three and runner-up in the 2026 World Darts Championship.
