Latin culture was on full display on Super Bowl Sunday as bad bunny made history as the first Latin solo artist to headline the halftime show.

The performance almost entirely in Spanish averaged more than 128 million viewers and was praised by fans for highlighting and celebrating Puerto Rican culture but also received pushback with 2 Republican Congress members calling for an investigation into the performance, calling it, quote, Pierce much 2 local artists that were among bad bunny's hundreds 100's of performers at the stadium that day.

Joining us, our work crews dancer, choreographer, and creative director.

>> And Jean Carlo Guerrero, 6 time Grammy Award-winning conductor in the artistic director and principal conductor of Chicago's Grant Park Music Festival.

Welcome to you both.

Congratulations.

Think you think you imagine you're still riding high lyrics.

Tell me what the last few days have been like since Sunday's performance.

Well, you don't happen to be exhausted home, but, you know, writing the high, you know, packing a lot of emotion.

>> You know, being a homegrown Puerto Rican from Chicago being able to represent my neighborhood of Humble Park and Chicago Lawn.

The rules are just age is something I didn't see.

was going to be possible at this point in my career.

So, you know, the emotions are still going and running on the excitement.

Happily exhausted.

I'm John Carlos, same question to you.

What the last few days been like for you?

>> It's been very exciting electric.

I was so proud to be part of this incredible project with so many people from so many different backgrounds, everybody coming together for one beautiful coming purpose, which is to put the best show possible.

And I can tell you all through the rehearsals and performances of the joy on the field with probable everybody was so proud to be part of it.

And honestly, this is something that will never forget in my life.

I'm sure.

>> Dzhokhar, let's go back to to sort of getting books.

It sounds like you were handpicked by the man himself.

>> Yeah.

So about a week before the Saturday, the weekend before I got a call from my manager apparently Bunny's manager called him there was going to be the stream orchestra involved in the halftime show and Benito.

he an actual string orchestra and he wanted an actual conduct are leading and somewhere in along the lines he had me have you in my career and what I was up to as a conductor.

I think if any conduct maybe the Grammys had a connection there, the fact that we both have 6 Grammys now, maybe that had something to do with it.

So I would they reached out to me and for it on his sleeve.

That was a part of me that I this is maybe a joke.

didn't see the connection by by the NFL halftime show But very quickly, very quickly, I realized this was not a joke.

then but going to keep it a secret.

Well, that is the other part that, you know, I could tell by 2 daughters, though, because they're huge, bad bunny and I did tell them and also like myself, think that it was a joke and him for a while they've got and we're getting angry.

But finally, they realized this is actually happening.

>> Lyric, what about you?

I imagine you probably have lot of friends or have a lot of friends who are bad bunny fans as well.

Couldn't tell him.

Could you when you found out of this was the hardest you know, because you get one hero.

That's like congratulations.

You're being booked for Super Bowl 16.

>> And the next e-mail is here's the NDA, but you know, I think we all understood the gravity of the project.

And I think that we wanted to protect it to, you know, so it was tough, you know, but I definitely have to tell mom right away.

According what did it mean for you to be a part of a performance like this?

And also at a time like this when so many in the Latino community feel like they're under attack by this administration.

Yeah.

So brand is for me.

This my Puerto Rican.

This is not a fad.

This is something that has been instilled in me since I was a kid again, growing up in the neighborhood like Humble Park.

You grow up with so much pride.

So knowing that I was going take the world's largest speech with the biggest artist planet right now, everybody knows you are on stage for the wedding.

Yes, got on the waiting That was another like huge surprise that we did not find out until we were doing tech rehearsal inside Levi's Stadium.

But, you know, knowing that I was going to be able to be part of showing the world 15 minutes of Puerto Rico.

Was this the greatest on and that I could have ever had in this career.

John Carlo, tell me a little bit more about the sort of the different parts of culture that the performance, the Latino culture, not just Puerto Rican culture, but the Latino culture that was celebrated.

>> In those 13, 15 minutes.

>> Well, you can see that there different stages within the show and with every stage was a different style of music was shot, shows you the but stabbing.

And when I spent some time with them will be for the show.

I became an even bigger fan of because he's got so much curiosity beyond what we think of performer and that he's actually quite something that he said to me that maybe really respect him was the fact that he said to me, I want an extra 3 one of the conductor because they have too respect what you guys do.

You guys need to be put in the actual be in the best light possible.

And you know what?

To me that the message was clear.

The most important part is the music and the music making.

And from that point, I realized is a guy that is serious about what he does.

And you could see it every different stage that he was exploring different physical languages.

>> We're tell me a little bit about your dance background and how humble park sort of sheets you as a performer.

>> Well, you know, coming from a single parent home, I didn't you know, my mother was a single mom of 3 boys.

So, you know, having money for dance classes wasn't really a thing.

But, you know, I grew up in the community that offered it.

And I'm a kid that was raised by the village.

So, you know, I started taking dance classes at a home park field house, which, you know, with the Chicago Park District and you know it just, you know, I was a super ambitious, energetic boy so that, you know, once I found this outlet, I knew that this was what my energy was.

4.

And, you know, by the time I was 17, I started my own dance company, my senior year of high school.

And the rest has been they've been dancing for wild briefly before we let you go, tell me about how the production was inclusive for all kinds of cancers.

kinds of performers.

Yeah.

So you know, >> piggyback on foot.

He said, you know, that money is a very intentional artist.

And when you get to work with a very intentional artist, you feel so honored and you feel so seen and being in part of a cast that was so inclusive and I'm talking about from the demographic of age to the different beautiful body shapes that were there from every of black brown.

was so beautiful, you know.

And so it was such a celebration of us.

John Carlo, a briefly before we let you go as well.

Where can folks see you next?

>> Well, I am going to be at the ground for music festival.
