In a significant narrative shift, Ghanaians are actively disproving the notion that they don’t support their own, rallying behind Afua Asantewaa as she endeavors to break the record for the longest individual singing marathon. The attempt, initiated on December 24 and scheduled to run until December 27, 2023, has garnered notable support, including Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, who attended on Christmas day.
A lineup of showbiz personalities, including Nana Ama McBrown, Kwabena Kwabena, Efya, Sista Afia, Afronitaa, Delay, Cina Soul, Clemento Suarez, Akuapem Poloo, Lawyer Nti, Piesie Esther, and OB Amponsah, gathered at the venue, demonstrating collective support for the event. Social media is buzzing with attendees sharing enthusiastic videos, accompanied by overwhelmingly positive commentaries, applauding and encouraging Asantewaa in her impressive endeavor.
The official Guinness World Records report states that the longest singing marathon by an individual was achieved by Sunil Waghmare from India, lasting an impressive 105 hours from March 3 to March 7, 2012. Asantewaa, an entrepreneur, aims to surpass this record by singing for more than 117 hours.
