Ghanaian entrepreneur and journalist Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum has surpassed the 65-hour mark of her attempt to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest Singing marathon(Sing-a-thon) by an individual.
The current record, set in 2012 by Indian Sunil Waghmare, stands at 105 hours—a mark that she is determined to surpass.
Asantewaa entered into the third day of singing on Tuesday and is so far inching closer to the 105-hour current record.
Ghanaians from all walks of life have thronged to the Akwaaba Village in Accra to show their massive support for Afua Asantewaa’s bid to break and set the new singathon record.
On Monday, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia stormed the Akwaaba Village to offer words of encouragement to Afua Asantewaa, urging her to make history for Ghana.
Award-winning reggae/dancehall artist Shatta Wale earlier today, received a rousing welcome at Akwaaba Village as he showed up to support Afua Asantewaa.
The likes of Kuami Eugene, Sista Afia, Mr Drew, Nana Ama McBrown, Cina Soul, and a host of other celebrities have all shown their support for the young star.
Barring unforeseen circumstances, Afua Asantewaa is expected to surpass the 105-hour mark in the early hours of Thursday, December 28, 2023.
