im220ph3 --
The audio clip that I provided in my clarification request was for the
song "Return of the Tres," as performed by Delinquent Habits on its
2001 CD, "Merry-Go-Round." That track is listed on being on the
soundtrack of the movie "Double Take":
Internet Movie Database: Soundtracks for Double Take
http://us.imdb.com/Soundtracks?0238948
Based on my own knowledge, I can identify the trumpet background
melody as repeated phrases sampled from a performance of an old
Latin-style pop tune called "Kiss of Fire."
That very popular standard was written in 1952 by Lester Allen, Robert
Hill and A.G. Villoldo:
Encore Music: Latin Love Songs (in alphabetical order).

The song has been recorded nearly 60 times, and among its more popular
recorded versions were those by Louis Armstrong, Tito Puente, Ray
Conniff and Georgia Gibbs. Here is a link to the list of recordings
of the song as compiled by the All Music Guide:
All Music Guide: Kiss of Fire

I wouldn't be surprised if the recording that was sampled on "Return
of the Tres" was the Tito Puente version, but I have found no audio
clip of that version. I have found a clip of an instrumental version
of the song by Ray Conniff, and here is a link to it:
Tower Records: Ray Conniff: Rhapsody in Rhythm (track 22 -- key
phrase begins in last half of clip)

For comparison, here are two other clips of popular recordings of
"Kiss of Fire":
Tower Records: Louis Armstrong: All-Time Greatest Hits (track 8 -- key
phrase near end of clip)

Tower Records: Number 1 Hits of the 50s (track 9 -- key phrase near
end of clip)

Delinquent Habits (like most hip-hop groups) often relies on remixing
and sampling to complement the vocals of its members. Indeed, the
All Music Guide's review of "Merry-Go-Round," the CD on which "Return
of the Tres" appears, says:
"From the moment the polished "Merry-Go-Round" kicks in, it's DJ O.G.
Styles dominating the proceedings with his squiggly sounding
scratches, Spanish guitar loops, and tinkling piano samples, which
overshadow rappers Ives and Kimo's decent but undistinguished
rhyming."

The final proof that the track includes samples from "Kiss of Fire" is
this link to a Finnish website that includes a downloadable WAV file
of the tune, which it labels "Return of the Tres/Kiss of Fire":
