Music is a powerful force with the ability to heal and bring light and joy even during the darkest of times. A good tune can make us forget about all the things that aren’t going so well in our lives.
And even if it’s only for a few minutes, sometimes a few minutes is all we need.
A video that shows the true power of music recently captured the heart of Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi after it went viral.
It actually had him in tears.
The video shows a young girl who is fighting cancer from her hospital bed in Puerto Montt, Chile.
Even though cancer has taken her hair and forced her into quarantine, she still wanted to get up and dance when she heard some happy music.
The beautiful girl is laughing and dancing while a group of clowns, dressed in white doctors’ coats stand outside the quarantine window playing Fonsi’s popular song “Despacito.” The girl mimics their moves with a huge grin on her face.
The clowns were from Clowntagiosos, an organization of doctors who dress like clowns to cheer up sick children. It is unknown what type of cancer the girl has, but it is assumed that it is a type that’s put her in a delicate condition since she is in quarantine.

Not only was Fonsi touched that she was enjoying his song, but he was also touched because the performance came from his hometown of Chile.
