When a Chandler Elementary School student sang the song"Peaches" from the Movie"Super Mario Brothers" at a talent show, it leveled up to be an uplifting viral moment.
While 7-year-old Cairo Koomson pretended to play piano, it was his grandmother’s idea to dress up as Bowser.Once Cairo hit the chorus in front of his school, nearly every kid was singing along waving their hand back and forth.The video his mom posted on social media went viral with hundreds of thousands of views across various platforms.
Even Chris Pratt, the voice of Mario from the movie, posted, “Watch out Jack Black this kid might take your job, Epic performance dude!!”When Cairo’s mom told him Hollywood stars saw his performance while they were on vacation in Africa, he said, “Okay, okay, that’s it. I need to make more videos.” But before all this overnight fame, Cairo admits the day before the big performance he was having second thoughts.So as Cairo was memorizing all the lyrics, his little brother, 6-year-old Eli sought to help.“We don’t get to hear Eli as much as we love to,” said Tracy.
She says, typically Eli doesn’t share more than three words in a sentence. So, when he sat down and sang the whole song his brother had been rehearsing, that’s all Cairo needed to deliver not just an epic performance, but a joyful, family moment never to be forgotten.While in Africa, Cairo posted videos of him eating foods you wouldn’t find in the U.S. with his reaction. The 7-year-old said he would like to start a travel series from a kid’s perspective.
