In the previous segment we found Milagros and Gloria shaking it to un ritmo vallenato from Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Upon her return to the convent, Milagros is singing Ricky Maravilla’s "¿Que tendrá el petiso?" which probably got its inspiration from "Locas por el mambo", a huge 1950 Havana hit from the great Benny Moré.

Though Natalia Oreiro may seem to have it all—talent, beauty, brains, personality and success—she wasn’t born with a silver spoon in her mouth.

The house is called “La Soledad”, which might be fitting enough for some of the souls who dwell within it. Grandma hasn’t left her room in years, nor is she on the best of terms with her son, the patriarch of the house. He, in turn, is no longer exactly enamored with his wife, nor sympathetic to her weakness for the bottle. The fun is just beginning…

The stupendous Natalia Oreiro released the fiery single “Me Muero De Amor” even before it became the theme song for Muñeca Brava, in which she also stars. The show was a smash hit not only in Latin America but also in Europe and the Middle East, and as such buoyed worldwide sales of the record.
