Faltan solo unos días para la toma de posesión del presidente electo Donald Trump, y la mayoría, si no todos, los artistas musicales que participarán en los eventos que tendrán lugar este viernes ya han sido anunciados a través del comité del nuevo presidente. Hasta ahora, nombres como 3 Doors Down, Tothrough Keith, Big & Rich, Jackie Evancho, miembros de las Rockettes y algunos otros se han inscrito para participar en la celebración de la transición de fuerza.
For comparison, when Barack Obama was sworn in on the same day in 2009, the musical entertainment was provided by Aretha Franklin, Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Gabriela Montero and Anthony McGill, the United States Marine Band and both the San Francisco Boys Chorus and Girls Choruses. During his second public inauguration, President Obama brought out Beyoncé, Kelly Clarkson, James Taylor and the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, in addition to musical performances by a band comprised of members of the armed forces.
For the many inaugural balls the evening of his first swearing-in, Beyoncé, Jay Z, James Taylor and The Dead (which features members from The Grateful Dead) were just a few of the artists that performed for crowds. Four years later, the lineup was even more impressive, with his various events that night in 2013 featuring performances by superstars like Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Fun., members of the cast of the television show Glee, John Legend, Maná, Smokey Robinson, Soundgarden and Stevie Wonder, to name just the best-known of the bunch.
One of the biggest stories surrounding Donald Trump’s transition from candidate to President of the United States has been his team’s apparent inability to secure top-tier talent for the inaugural events. A number of highly successful artists such as Elton John, David Foster, U.K. superstars Charlotte Church and Rebecca Ferguson, Moby, 2 Chainz, The Beach Boys and Ice-T have publicly stated that they were asked but declined, while there have been reports that Celine Dion, Andrea Bocelli and Kiss were all asked, but that they decided not to get involved for one reason or another.
Aquí está la lista completa de los artistas que actuaron en la toma de posesión de Trump o en cualquiera de las fiestas del 20 de enero, añadiendo lo que parece ser la noche más importante, denominada «¡Haz que Estados Unidos vuelva a ser grande!» Celebración de bienvenida»:

Hasta ahora, varios artistas anunciados oficialmente han cancelado sus compromisos debido a las reacciones negativas que obtuvieron por presentarse ante el nuevo presidente. La leyenda de Broadway Jennifer Holliday y Bruce Springsteen, The B-Street Band, se alejaron del centro de atención después de aceptar primero participar en un evento inaugural.
