La Morena de Mi Copla

"La Morena de Mi Copla" ("The Brunette of My Song") is a Spanish song performed by a tuna group in Episode 1624 of Sesame Street. It is played to make Mercedes feel more at home to Puerto Rico while visiting Sesame Street during the winter.
The song is about a painting that depicts a mysterious and enchanting woman holding a guitar. Before performing it, the tuna group explains the cultural significance of their instruments and wardrobe, singling out how their ribbons are given to them by female listeners as a sign of affection. After the song, Maria follows tradition by draping her scarf over the shoulder of one of the musician's shoulders.
