Afua Asantewaa is gearing up to make a second attempt at the longest-singing marathon in the Guinness World Records She announced in a recent interview that she had already received approval to attempt the record again According to Afua Asantewaa, the latest attempt will be held in Kumasi in December
Media personality and event planner Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has announced plans for a second Guinness World Record sing-a-thon attempt.
In a recent interview, she indicated that the second attempt will be held in the Ashanti regional capital of Kumasi. In December 2023, Asantewaa attempted to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest singing marathon, held by Sunil Waghmare.
Even though she received massive support from Ghanaians, his 126-hour singing effort was disqualified for breaching some guidelines.
Almost one year later, Afua Asantewaa is still optimistic about breaking the record and is gearing up for another go in December 2024. She had earlier hinted at plans of making another attempt. Speaking on Akoma FM’s mid-morning show with Tony Best, Asantewaa revealed she had received fresh clearance from Guinness World Records for another attempt at the longest individual singing marathon. “God willing in December, I will be hosting another sing-a-thon but this time I’m planning to do it in Kumasi,” Asantewaa said.
She explained that her team is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the most suitable location within the city, aiming to engage the local community and strengthen her role as a tourism ambassador. Undeterred by her previous unsuccessful attempt, Asantewaa maintains a positive outlook. “The fact that I was unsuccessful in my first attempt shouldn’t be a barrier to my quest of becoming a Guinness World record holder,” she stated.
According to Asantewaa, a press conference will be held to officially launch the upcoming singathon.
