She attempted and lost out, but if you give up after a failed attempt, you aren’t Afua Asantewaa’s friend, as she has revealed her intention to have another go at the GWR for the longest singing marathon.

Last year December remains one to remember, and it is all thanks to Afua Asantewaa, who attempted a Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, popularly known as ‘sing-a-thon.

Her attempt generated a frenzy, as she got support from a lot of Ghanaians, who rooted for her to break the record held by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.

Quite unfortunately, Afua Asantewaa was not successful in her attempt, thus, Sunil Waghmare, still holds the GWR for the longest singing marathon.

Afua Asantewaa completed her singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023.

Though quite popular before her GWR attempt, Afua Asantewaa became a household name, kind of, and Ghanaians waited for a favourable result from the management of the GWR.
