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.
