Afua Asantewaa Aduonum aimed to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, starting on December 24, 2023, and scheduled to conclude on December 27, 2023.
On December 29, 2023, Afua Asantewaa concluded her attempt, surpassing the previous record by achieving an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes.
In a Facebook post, she expressed her gratitude, saying, "THIS IS WHERE I END MY JOURNEY! 126 HOURS, 52 MINS. WE BROKE A RECORD AND SET A NEW ONE. IT WAS YOUR LOVE, DEDICATION, MOTIVATION, AND PRAYERS THAT GAVE ME THE STRENGTH TO GET ON MY FEET EVERY TIME AND KEEP GOING FOR THIS LONG. IT WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOU! THANK YOU EVERYONE, THANK YOU GHANA!"
However, the Guinness World Record is yet to respond to her record attempt. During an interview, she said she was not able to send the entire video of her sing-a-thon to the Guinness World Record because of poor internet connection in Ghana.
In the video below, she however added that she was finally able to send it and awaiting feedback from the GWR team. Hear more from her in the video below.
