The Cuban actress Norma Reina, remembered by generations as “Marcolina” in the children's program La Sombrilla Amarilla, has surprised many by letting herself be swept away by the rhythms of the cast in a video that has gone viral on social media.
In the images, Reina is seen dancing alongside the Cuban choreographer and dancer Micho, as well as with her daughter, in an energetic choreography that has been widely praised by users.
The video, published on TikTok, showcases the beloved actress in an unusual facet, connecting with an urban genre that is highly popular among young Cubans. Marcolina's naturalness and enthusiasm have been key to generating thousands of positive reactions to the content.
The comments came in quickly, many filled with humor and nostalgia for the iconic character. "Marcolina was already delivering with Monchipío, she is a pioneer of delivery," wrote one user. Another commented jokingly, "Marcolina, if Enrique Chiquito sees you, haha."
Additionally, several internet users highlighted the talent of the actress's daughter: “The daughter of Marcolina dances so well,” reads one of the comments.
The video confirms how beloved figures from Cuban television continue to connect with the audience, now through digital platforms and in contexts completely different from those that made them famous.
