♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ >>> JOINING US IN THE STUDIO IS DANIEL FLOREZ, ALSO KNOWN AS THE TRUMPET POPPY, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> YES.

LET'S GET RIGHT INTO IT.

ON TIKTOK I WAS BLOWN AWAY, BETWEEN THE CHICAGO BACKDROP, AND IT REALLY JUST CAPTURED MY EYE, HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE IDEA?

>> IT'S REALLY ABOUT THE MUSIC AND AN ODE TO CHICAGO, AND JUST SHOWCASING A LOT OF DIFFERENT PLACES THAT DON'T ALWAYS GET THE ATTENTION THEY DESERVE.

>> UNDERSTAND YOU WERE RAISED BY PARENTS OF IMMIGRANTS, AND MOVING TO CHICAGO A LITTLE LATER IN LIFE FOR UNDERGRAD AND GRADUATE SCHOOL, HOW DID YOU LEARN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CITY HAS TO OFFER AND DECIDE HOW TO SHOWCASE THE CITY, >> A PRE-ORIENTATION PROGRAM, TAKEN ACROSS NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND HOW BIG OF A PLACE IN DIVERSE IT WAS, SAN ANTONIO IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE AND IT'S PREDOMINANTLY MEXICAN-AMERICAN, ALL DIFFERENT COUNTRIES IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD, AND BEEN EXPOSED TO SOME DIFFERENT PEOPLE, AS MUCH AS YOU LEARN AND GET TO KNOW THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND THE MORE YOU KNOW ABOUT IT, SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO DISCOVER.

>> ABSOLUTELY, THINKING ABOUT YOUR MUSICAL BACKGROUND AND UPBRINGING, HOW DID YOU DECIDE TO BRING THE INFLUENCE ON CHICAGO, AND DECIDING TO FLIP THE CAMERA, AS WELL?

>> KIND OF HER WAS RUNNING LATE AND POSTING THE VIDEO THAT WE, AND THE SONG, I PLAYED WITH THE BACKDROP AT NIGHT, THE SKYLINE WAS THERE, AND AS WELL, AS WELL.

>> WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT THE RESPONSE YOU RECEIVED FROM PEOPLE, FOLKS THAT LOVE THE TRADITIONAL SONGS, IT WAS A SONG THAT BROKE THE INTERNET ON TIKTOK, AS WELL RIGHT, THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU ARE GETTING FOLKS THAT LOVE TRUMPET, AND THE INSTRUMENT IN CLASSICAL INSTRUMENTS, AND MODERN-DAY SONGS.

YOU ARE KIND OF LIKE WOW, THIS IS IT WHAT I WOULD LIKE.

LISTENING TO MORE MUSIC THAT FEATURES TRUMPET PLAYERS?

FIGURE COMES DOWN TO PRESENTATION.

>> SOMETIMES THE INTERNET AND SOCIAL MEDIA, AS REPRESENTATIVE'S OF PEOPLE OF COLOR, AND OTHER COUNTRIES, TRYING TO SHOWCASE THAT, DOING A GOOD JOB OF SENDING THE VIDEOS THAT PEOPLE WOULD LIKE SO PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THEM, TRYING TO CONTINUE AS BROAD A RANGE OF MUSIC AND HIGHLIGHTING MUSIC AND IN SPANISH, AND SALSA AND MARY ARCHIE AND MORE.

-- MARIACHI .

>> THE DIVERSITY PER >> SO MUCH MUSIC OUT THERE, AND EQUITY AND DIVERSITY AND WITH THE TRUMPET BEING A MORE TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HEAR THE SOUNDS BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THEY SHOULD BE PLAYED, HAVING FUN WITH IT AND PLAYING AS MANY CONTEMPORARY COVERS I CAN.

>> YOU JOINED US EARLIER TODAY TO PLAY A COUPLE OF NUMBERS FOR US, TO SONGS.

TALK ABOUT THEM.

>> A ICONIC SONG HERE IN CHICAGO, WE SEE A LOT OF DOWNTIME IN THE NORTH NORTHSIDE ON TIKTOK BUT DON'T SEE AS MUCH OF THE SOUTH SIDE, I FEEL LIKE ANYONE THAT IS FROM CHICAGO UNDERSTANDS THAT SONG AND LOVES, SHOWCASING IT ON A TRUMPET THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT.

>> I LOVE REGGAE TOM AND -- ON TRUMPET AGAIN, REGGAETON , ABE WOULD HEAR AND MORE MODERN REGGAE SONGS AND THE TRUMPET AND THE BRIGHT SONGS, ANOTHER VIDEO THAT PEOPLE ENJOYED AND SEEING THE TRUMPET AND REGGAETON TOGETHER.
