The excitement is reaching new heights as Afua Asantewaa Aduonum’s bold endeavor to shatter the Guinness World Record for the longest individual singing marathon enters its sixth day. Since kicking off on December 24, Asantewaa has been delivering a continuous stream of melodies at the Akwaaba Village in Accra.
Prominent figures, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, have rallied behind Asantewaa’s remarkable musical feat.
Dr. Bawumia graced the occasion on Christmas Day, reinforcing his earlier social media post expressing support for Asantewaa’s ambitious pursuit.
A constellation of entertainment luminaries, such as Nana Ama McBrown, Kwabena Kwabena, Efya, Sista Afia, Afronitaa, Delay, Cina Soul, Clemento Suarez, Akuapem Poloo, Lawyer Nti, Piesie Esther, and OB Amponsah, have congregated at the venue, emphasizing their collective endorsement of the event.
Social media is abuzz with enthusiastic attendees sharing videos of themselves relishing Asantewaa’s uninterrupted performance. Online discussions are filled with positive comments, consistently applauding and cheering her on as she strives to reach new heights in this impressive undertaking.
Asantewaa’s pursuit to break the record set by Sunil Waghmare from India, who sang for an astounding 105 hours, stands as a testament to her resilience and profound passion for music. According to the official report from Guinness World Records, Waghmare’s marathon took place in Nagpur, India, from March 3 to March 7, 2012.
