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.

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…

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. Her family suffered economically, and moved many times trying to better their situation. This was a bit unsettling for little Natalia, and perhaps contributed to her being a handful for her primary school teachers.

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.

Franco is thrilled with the job Violeta is doing, but tension is in the air when a cunning rubia enters the scene.
