CEO of Askof Productions Limited, Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum, has chosen the Aviation Social Centre in Accra as the venue for her ambitious Guinness World Record attempt for the longest individual singing marathon.
Aiming to break the existing record of 105 hours set by an Indian in 2012, she plans to sing exclusively Ghanaian songs across genres like gospel, highlife, and hiplife during the 117-hour event.
Her goal is not only to achieve a personal milestone but also to promote Ghanaian music.
Miss Aduonum was inspired by Hilda Baci’s successful cook-a-thon, where she broke a four-year-old cooking record set by Lata Tondon.
Reflecting on her decision to take up the singing challenge, she said “I was hoping a Ghanaian musician would have taken it up, but now I have accepted the challenge and would do my best to make the nation proud.”
Expressing her passion for singing and her desire to contribute positively to Ghana, she added, “I love to sing and want to use my talent to make a mark for Ghana. This is about Ghana, and we need all the support.”
As Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum prepares for this challenging feat, she is seeking the support and encouragement of the community to ensure the success of her record-breaking endeavor.
