Some Ghanaian celebrities including Kwabena Kwabena, Nana Mc Brown, Cina Soul and others showed up at the Akwaaba Village to support Afua Asantewaa’s attempt to break the longest singing marathon by an individual.
At the time of filling this report, the Ghanaian entrepreneur had done over 30 hours and counting of singing as she aims to break the Guinness World Singathon record, which currently stands at 105 hours.
The current record holder, Sunil Waghmare, secured his place in the Guinness World Records by singing for 105 hours in Nagpur, India, from March 3 to 7, 2012. He performed a variety of popular Indian songs during his remarkable feat.
A large number of Ghanaians have also trooped to the venue in support of Asantewaa’s world record attempt, with patrons jamming to every tune.
Several messages of support have also poured in on social media, notably among them is the Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, who wrote, “Wishing Afua Asantewaa Aduonum all the best as she takes on the challenge of breaking the singathon record set by Indian singer Sunil Waghmare.”
“Your passion and talent shine brightly, and I am confident you’ll definitely make history. Keep shining your heart out. We are with you.”
If things go as anticipated, Asantewaa is expected to reach and break the world record on Thursday morning.
