Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum has successfully completed her enthralling attempt at the Guinness World Record for the singing marathon, achieving an impressive duration of 126 hours and 52 minutes.
While awaiting validation from Guinness World Record judges, Asantewaa’s accomplishment is believed to surpass the existing record set by India’s Sunil Waghmare in 2012.
The marathon commenced at midnight on December 24, 2023, and concluded on the morning of December 29, 2023. Addressing her supporters after receiving medical attention behind a stage screen, Asantewaa revealed that she had lost track of time during the five-day endeavor.
Expressing her hope that this achievement would serve as an inspiration to women and youth across the country, Asantewaa conveyed gratitude for the support received from musicians, politicians, and security officials at the Akwaaba Village in Accra.
“On behalf of my husband, my family, my team, volunteers, media, Ghana Tourism Authority, I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who participated in this singathon attempt,” Asantewaa said.
“This was a mere dream that was visualized in just five days, I say just because I don’t even remember how it started, not to talk of how it ended.”
“We hope and believe that this will be an inspiration to all women and all youth or individuals to come out of your comfort zone and try new opportunities. There is a lot out there to do; when you put your mind to it, you will achieve it.”
