Afua Asantewaa Aduonum has officially called it a day and wrapped up the challenge with 126 hours to her name, surpassing the official 105 hour mark set by India’s Sunil Waghmare, the current Guinness World Record holder. She had been singing over 1000 songs for five days and a few hours while standing, lying down, sitting, and squatting.
Beginning at midnight on December 24, 2023, and continuing until midnight on December 29, 2023, the tenacious and unwavering advocate for women began her attempt to set a new record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
For what duration did Afua Asantewaa sing?
Afua Asantewaa Aduonum performed for 126 hours, 52 minutes, and a few seconds without a formal record. Considering this, she completed 21 more hours in addition to Sunil Waghmare’s 105 hours from 2012.
With regards to the longest singing marathon, who now holds the Guinness World Record?
The Guinness World Record for the longest continuous singing marathon (105 hours) is formally held by popular Indian vocalist Sunil Waghmare
A well-known singer named Sunil Waghmare received recognition from his city for setting a world record for the longest singing.
At fourteen years old, he began to sing. Waghmare has finished her three foundational music classes. He claims that after receiving all of his education from his guru, Bhaskarrao Moroney, he never looked back.
After her Singathon, what’s in store for Afua Asantewaa?
Afua and her colleagues will now submit their proof to the Guinness World Record board for assessment after shattering and creating a new time record of 126 hours. It should be emphasized that time delay and other factors could have cut many hours off of the 126 she apparently attained.
Despite receiving a tiny 20-minute break every four hours throughout her challenge, Afua Asantewaa, a former beauty queen and aspiring journalist, persevered and sang over a thousand songs.
It is now up to Guinness World Records to examine the documentation that will be presented to them and make a formal declaration regarding whether or not she succeeded in accomplishing the feat.
Up until then, Afua Asantewaa has inspired pride in her nation by displaying bravery and fortitude. She also became a little celebrity and gave Ghanaians a lot of evidence that they can achieve everything they set their minds to.
