♪ [applause] [applause] SERENA: This song is actually from the opera repertoire.

It's from "Porgy and Bess," Gershwin.

And, well, what kind of version do you think we're gonna do?

GREG: I thought it'd be nice to do something a little more intimate, scaled-down, something that features our, our wonderful band.

SERENA: So, let's go do it.

GREG: All right.

[applause] LARISA: The next piece I'm about to sing is very meaningful to me, as it was written in my homeland of Puerto Rico.

The poem describes a man who daydreams about his little wood house in the middle of a coffee plantation.
