Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, a singer from Ghana, is attempting to shatter the record for the longest individual singing marathon.
Afua has been singing Ghanaian songs back-to-back at the Akwaaba community in an effort to surpass the Guinness world record held by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in March 2012.
Afua is scheduled to conclude her voyage on December 27, having begun at midnight on December 24. This implies that she will be singing continuously for four days and nine hours.
Afua Asantewaa, the name even portends the fighting spirit in you. Go Girl! 🔥#SingathonOnJoyPrime #afuaasantewaasingathon https://t.co/CoqWWjRkUh

The mother of two has been entertaining the crowd in the Akwaaba hamlet with consecutive performances of Ghanaian songs. A-list singers and politicians have also arrived to support her.
Mahamudu Bawumia, vice president, was also present to lend his support.

Afua’s attempt was made a few days after some musicians from Ghana demanded that songs from their country be promoted over the holiday season.
The 2023 Christmas in Ghana seems to have been a remarkable experience because to the event-leading trends on Ghanaian social media.
