Ghana’z Afua Asantewaa Owusu Aduonum is aiming to break four more records with her 126 hours and 52 minutes of singing marathon endeavor, which she attempted to set in December 2023.
Asantewaa Aduonum’s team submitted documentation of the attempt to the Guinness World Records last Saturday for the requisite examination and confirmation of the record following an absorbing attempt across five days.
She did, however, tell the Daily Graphic that the team would also be applying for other records, such as the longest-running musical event in Ghana and Africa, the first musical show to draw eight DJs for a continuous performance over five days, and the first female to attempt a singing marathon, in addition to the record for singing.
“I think the current attempt I did captures four records, but many haven’t paid attention.
“There are many records that I have broken, but you have to apply for them separately.
Currently, we are doing for the longest singing marathon, but it applies for four or five records on their platforms.
“We have submitted the current one, but we are now going to look into the others. We will submit them separately,” she said.
Mrs Owusu Aduonum, who is the Chief Executive Officer of ASKOF Productions Limited, organisers of Ghana Outstanding Women Awards, Miss Kidi Ghana, Teen Queen Ghana and Pose for Africa, has since been named Tourism Ambassador by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture following the December 24-29 singing marathon.
Indeed, the event held the nation virtually spellbound as she embarked on the audacious attempt at the Akwaaba Village at the Accra International Airport, attracting the Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, and a host of showbiz and media personalities who offered support in person.
