In Buenos Aires, Argentina, Josefina Altamira reunited with her great-aunt, Yiyina, on the television program Es mi sueño.

Yiyina travelled from Salta to surprise Josefina, who was performing on the show. The women had not seen each other for 15 years, a separation that began after the death of Josefina’s grandmother, a person deeply important to her. Before Josefina sang, the show’s host, Guido Kaczka, introduced Yiyina to the audience and explained she had not seen Josefina for two decades.

Yiyina admitted to being confused about the exact number of years, but Kaczka reassured her that the audience understood the emotional weight of the reunion. Josefina and a fellow performer sang “A rodar mi vida” by Fito Páez, after which Yiyina approached the stage and embraced her great-niece. The audience responded with chants of Yiyina’s name, moved by the emotional moment.

Josefina then spoke about her grandmother, describing her as her most important person in the world and believing her presence was felt during the reunion.
