Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, a broadcast journalist from Ghana, has declared her plan to try to set the record for the longest individual singing marathon twice.
Her previous attempt in December 2023, in which she sought to break the record held by Indian singer Sunil Waghmare, who performed nonstop for 105 hours in 2012, was unsuccessful.
The mother of three is preparing for another go at the coveted crown, unfazed by the setback.
She clarified that her first attempt was hampered by her lack of preparation time, as she had only two weeks to plan the challenge. She expressed hope that with more time to plan, she will succeed and bring honor to Ghana.

She stated in a video that Graphic Showbiz was able to view:“I’ve been thinking about a lot, and I believe that the record attempt I embarked on is similar to the black stars participating in a World Cup, or the black queens participating in an African Cup competition, or a presidential candidate attempting for presidency. And so I have never in my life seen the black stars quit football because they didn’t qualify for the World Cup. They still play all the time.”
“I have seen presidential candidates who have not won the presidential seat, but still attempting. So if I have attempted the world record and it was not successful, it doesn’t mean that I need to give up. We are still considering. And so moving forward, I believe that a lot have been lent. I mean, we had only two weeks to attempt what we did last year, December that is 2023. So we have enough months ahead that is if you would want to go again, to properly prepare and hit it once and for all, and still make Ghana proud. If I’m successful next year, put Ghana on the map.”
