Afua Asantewaa concludes singathon at 126 hours, 52 minutes, awaits Guinness World Record verification
Afua Asantewaa has captivated Ghanaians and people all over the world. After an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes, Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum has finally wrapped up her quest to set a new record for the singing marathon.
Although confirmation from the Guinness World Mark judges is still pending, Asantewaa’s performance is thought to have significantly surpassed the previous mark established by Sunil Waghmare of India in 2012.
On December 24, 2023, at midnight, the marathon began. It ended early on December 29, 2023. After getting medical assistance onstage behind a screen, Asantewaa spoke to her followers and admitted that she had become disoriented over the five-day attempt.
Asantewaa expressed gratitude to lawmakers, musicians, and security personnel at the Akwaaba Village, hoping this accomplishment would encourage women and youth around the nation.
“I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in this singathon attempt on behalf of my husband, family, team, volunteers, media, and Ghana Tourism Authority,” Asantewaa stated. It was just a dream that was visualized in five days, and I say that only because I can’t even recall how it began, let alone how it ended.”
“We think and hope this will inspire other women, young people, and individuals to step outside their comfort zone and explore new possibilities. There is much to do; you can succeed if you set your mind to it. She will host an all-white gathering at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving.” Afua Asantewaa said.
