I was invited to a funeral of the mother of one of our church members. She loved Puerto Rican music, so they honored her with over an hour of songs like this. I found the conga and tambourine (at about 4:12 min) a bit deafening, but I have to say, it was certainly an interesting night for me.

Maybe it was a way to share their pain, while expressing the musical joy that mama obviously enjoyed.
Yes, I believe you are right. It was more about celebrating the life of the young man's mother, than creating an atmosphere for mourning.
