Ghana’s Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has announced her second attempt at the Guinness World Record for the longest solo singing marathon, set to begin on December 21, 2024.
This follows her previous attempt in December 2023, which ended without official recognition due to criteria not being fully met, as confirmed by Guinness World Records. Despite surpassing the existing record by singing for over 126 hours, technicalities prevented her achievement from being validated.
The GWR said this in a statement on X (formerly Twitter) adding that despite the setback they hope she makes another attempt.
“We’ve seen how inspirational it has been for her fans…We wish Afua the best of luck with any future record attempts,” they noted.
Afua’s initial attempt captivated many, showcasing her determination and passion for music. Afua, not a professional singer, demonstrated resilience and vocal stamina, garnering admiration from fans and supporters. The marathon incorporated various physical positions to endure the lengthy session.
This year’s attempt is expected to draw significant attention, with supporters hopeful for a successful outcome. The singer made the announcement on her social media, expressing excitement and readiness for the challenge.
Her determination to reattempt the feat underscores her drive to inspire others through perseverance. Fans eagerly await the start of her marathon on December 21.
