A Ghanaian lady named Afua Asantewaa O Aduonum is set to attempt the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon.
The current record is held by an Indian man named Sunil Waghmare, who sang continuously for 105 hours from March 3 to 7, 2012. To break this record, Afua will need to sing for at least 117 hours.
Afua is the CEO of Askof Productions Limited and the organizer of GOWA Awards, Miss Kidi Ghana and Teen Queen Ghana. She explained in an Instagram video that she is attempting this record to promote Ghanaian music to the world.
On her Instagram page, Afua wrote:
> "This attempt is strictly for Ghanaian songs, we’re doing this to promote Ghanaian songs, from gospel, highlife, hiplife name it."
Afua's attempt is scheduled to take place this December. She will only be allowed short breaks to drink water and use the bathroom. She will not be allowed to repeat any songs, and each song must be between 1 to 2 minutes long.
This means Afua will have to sing over 3,200 different Ghanaian songs if she wants to break the current record of 105 hours.
If successful, Afua's record attempt will put the spotlight on Ghanaian music and culture on a global stage. It has the potential to inspire Ghanaians and showcase the country's rich musical heritage.
Afua will need tremendous perseverance, focus and mental strength to sing continuously for over 117 hours. It will not be an easy feat, but if anyone can do it, it is this determined Ghanaian lady with a passion for promoting her country's music!
In summary, Afua Asantewaa O Aduonum has set her sights on breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon in order to promote Ghanaian music. Her 117-hour singing attempt scheduled for this December, if successful, will be a historic moment for Ghana and showcase the resilience of its people. We wish Afua the very best of luck in this noble endeavor!
