Monday, June 22, 2026 by Elizabeth Alvarado

A group of Cuban grandmothers, some over 94 years old, have become an internet sensation in recent weeks after a video of them dancing to "Un Tin" at a senior care center went viral. The clip was shared on May 29 by the TikTok account @momentos.adult.da (Momentos Adult Day Care).

The two-minute and 24-second video captures the spirited participants moving with flair and confidence as a host enthusiastically cheers them on to the hit song by Payaso x Ley and Rowell Urban. "Let's go! Hey! That's the little baby, the tiniest one! How old are you? 94 years old!" the host exclaims in the video.

The video description boasts proudly: "Over 95 years old but fearless!!"

The host continues to celebrate the participants, exclaiming, "She has a goal, and she scored it! She has courage and a finish line!" as the ladies keep dancing energetically.

The clip amassed an impressive 244,500 views, 21,600 likes, 1,197 comments, and 7,345 shares, remarkable numbers for a senior care center's account.

"Un Tin," released on April 20, 2026, under Befocus Music with production by Ernesto Losa, blends Cuban reparto with operatic singing. It quickly surpassed 9 million views on YouTube, making it one of the biggest hits of the genre in 2026.

Since its release, the song has sparked a wave of TikTok videos featuring seniors dancing along. Notable videos include one from the account @julia.martin.juli, known as "La Abuela del Reparto," with over 154,000 views, and another from @la_mas_viral_de_cuba with more than 150,000 views. The Momentos Adult Day Care video stands out, showcasing a collective dance from a group within the Cuban exile community, rather than just a single grandmother dancing at home.

This trend isn't new. Back in July 2025, a 97-year-old Cuban grandmother named Luisa went viral for dancing to "Tacto que llegó el reparto" by Bebeshito, and in December 2024, another elderly woman caused a stir on TikTok with her reparto dance moves.

The Cultural Roots of Cuban Reparto

Cuban reparto is an urban genre that originated in the popular neighborhoods of Havana, especially in Arroyo Naranjo, between 2006 and 2007. It evolved from Cuban reggaeton, incorporating elements of timba, rumba, and guaguancó. By 2026, it has reached its peak international prominence.

With "Un Tin" as their soundtrack, the grandmothers at Momentos Adult Day Care have shown that age is no barrier to enjoying reparto. As the host cheered in the video, "With the little plant, with the little plant! Hey, hey, hey! Let's go, out! Strong!"
