Afua Asantewaa To Deliver Another Singathon In Kumasi

Despite not winning the first attempt to break Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon by an individual, Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, says there are plans for another singathon in December 2024.

She gained attention last December when she attempted to break the record for the longest singing by an individual, held by Sunil Waghmare. Despite her efforts over five days, she was ultimately disqualified.

In an interview with Akoma FM’s Tony Best on the mid-morning show, Asantewaa revealed that she has received clearance from Guinness World Records for her next attempt.

“God willing, I will host another singathon in December, this time in Kumasi,” she stated.

She and her team are currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the most suitable location in the city, ensuring that local fans can engage with the event while enhancing her role as a tourism ambassador.

“Myself and the team are doing a feasibility study to appreciate which part of the city will best suit the attempt. This will allow those in this enclave to make a feel of the show and also deepen my ambassadorial role. The fact that I was not successful in my first attempt shouldn’t be a barrier to my quest of becoming a Guinness World record holder” she said.

Asantewaa expressed her determination, stating that her initial setback will not hinder her pursuit of becoming a Guinness World Record holder.

To officially launch the upcoming singathon, she mentioned plans to hold a press conference soon. With this renewed commitment, Asantewaa aims to unite the community and create an unforgettable experience in Kumasi.
