The viral Ugandan collective Nansana Dance Kids has once again brought Salvadoran music to international audiences, recently posting a TikTok video dancing and singing to “La Loba” by Salvadoran artist Julissa Ventura while waving the flags of El Salvador. According to social media data, the clip has surpassed 335,000 views and 50,000 reactions on TikTok.
Global Reach of “La Loba”
The performance features the signature style that made Nansana Dance Kids popular across digital platforms: high-energy group choreography and international tracks adapted for their routines. In this latest release, the children center their presentation around El Salvador, incorporating national flags into their dance just as they have in previous viral tributes, according to digital uploads reviewed by fans and media. Julissa Ventura responded directly to the tribute on social media, sharing the video with the message, “Blessings and a lot of love from El Salvador,” according to public posts on her accounts.
A Growing Repertoire of Salvadoran Tributes
This release follows a series of videos released during September where the Nansana Dance Kids integrated Salvadoran culture into their performances. According to widely circulated social media posts from that month, the youth group previously performed the National Anthem of El Salvador while holding their hands to their chests and waving flags. Their September lineup also included dances to “El Sombrero Azul” by Salsa Clave and “Pupusas de Olocuilta” by Los Hermanos Flores, connecting East African youth dance culture with traditional Salvadoran cumbia and patriotic symbols.
Background on Nansana Dance Kids

The collective regularly publishes music videos and choreography featuring local children and teenagers who adapt songs from various countries into energetic visual presentations. While the group routinely covers international genres, their September and subsequent features have established a distinct musical bridge to El Salvador, culminating in the direct artist interaction with Julissa Ventura over “La Loba.”
