Since the global coronavirus quarantine began, there has been a lot of performing on social media by professionals and nonprofessionals alike. But no song captures the zeitgeist quite like the short, perfect piece by a pair of Colombian satirists known as Las Cardachians (a play on “Kardashiansâ€), who have more than a million followers on Instagram.

The gender-bending duo — which consists of Juan Gonzalez, who does makeup tutorials on YouTube, and photographer and filmmaker Camilo Pulgarin — is known for their popular Instagram videos that spoof the Kardashians and the actions of ditzy Medellín girls. They even have a short dance jam as Las Cardachians called “Sugar Guaracha†— and it is highly addictive.

But their master work has to be their recent song “Cuarentena†(“Quarantineâ€), performed by Pulgarin. Posted five days ago, it is burning up Latin American Instagram, racking up close to a million views. On Tuesday, it was re-posted to social media by actress Drew Barrymore.
