Washington / The singer and actress Jennifer Lopez (J-Lo) has used Spanish at the inauguration ceremony of the new president of the United States, Joe Biden, and has recited the final part of the loyalty oath in this language.

“A nation, under one God, indivisible, with freedom and justice for all”, has recited J-Lo at the end of his performance, in which he has interpreted “This Land Is Your Land” , composed by Woody Guthrie and turned into a national, patriotic and anti-fascist anthem.

Jennifer Lopez, a New Yorker of Puerto Rican origins, was one of the artists invited to the inauguration ceremony of Joe Biden, who shortly before noon was sworn in as the forty-sixth president of the United States on the steps of the west facade of the Capitol .

Lopez, who for the first time has included Spanish in this ceremony, has been accompanied by her husband and former baseball player Álex Rodríguez, of Dominican descent.

Lady Gaga, who played the national anthem, and Garth Brooks, who sang “Amazing Grace”, were other guest artists at the ceremony, which took place in front of a small audience of guests and without the traditional crowds of other years due to the pandemic and greater security after the assault on the Capitol last day 6.
