Ghanaian tourism ambassador Afua Asantewaa Aduonum is set to make a second attempt at breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest solo singing marathon. The event is scheduled to commence on December 21, 2024, following her previous attempt in December 2023.
In her first attempt, Afua sang for over 126 hours, surpassing the existing record. However, Guinness World Records (GWR) did not officially validate her achievement due to unmet criteria. A statement released by GWR on X (formerly Twitter) acknowledged her effort, describing it as inspirational and wishing her success in future attempts.
Despite the setback, Afua remains committed to achieving her goal. Her first attempt showcased remarkable endurance and passion, gaining admiration from fans and supporters. Incorporating various physical positions to sustain her energy, she demonstrated resilience and vocal stamina, even as a non-professional singer.
The upcoming attempt is expected to draw significant attention, with supporters optimistic about a positive outcome. Announcing the event on her social media platforms, Afua expressed excitement and readiness to embrace the challenge once again.
Her determination to persevere serves as an inspiration, with fans eagerly anticipating her marathon on December 21.
