While the current President of the United States Donald Trump does not stop generating controversy because of the way he reacted to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, his five living predecessors have joined together to lead a charity concert to help the victims of this hurricane. and two more: Irma and Harvey, who recently hit Florida and Texas, respectively.

Through a statement, the concert organizers reported that former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama will be present at that great musical event called One America Appeal Concert, on October 21.

Among the top artists on the list of performances to be performed at the Reed Arena at Texas A&M University are Lyle Lovett and Lee Greenwood, who have been joined by other country music stars such as Alabama, the Gatlin Brothers, Robert Earl Keen, Sam Moore, Yolanda Adams, Cassadee Pope and Stephanie Quayle.

The initiative is led by the George H. W Bush Presidential Library Foundation, who was the 43rd. president of this country. "We are very grateful to these wonderful artists, some of them old friends, some of them new, for giving us their time and talent to help the urgent cause of the hurricane recovery in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean," said the president in a statement.

This is not the first time that the five former presidents have joined in a project of this magnitude; Last month when Hurricane Harvey shook Texas with 130 mph winds and major flooding, they all filmed a video to support the victims.

"It is important for those affected by these devastating storms to know that while the road to recovery feels like a road that goes on forever, they are with them for the long term," said former President George HW Bush.
