Guinness World Record attempt: GTA partners Afua
THE Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has announced that it has officially partnered with Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum, the Ghanaian singer set to break the Guinness World Record of the longest singing marathon ever.
In a public notice, the GTA also indicated that in tandem with the partnership, the venue for the event had been moved from the Aviation Social Centre to the Akwaaba Village being constructed near the Airport Roundabout.
The event comes off from December 24 to 27.
“The change in venue is to help accommodate the huge numbers who have expressed interest in attending to support our own Afua Asantewaa, break the record,” the notice explained
Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Askof Productions Limited, will host the four-day GWR attempt.
She aims not only to achieve a personal milestone but also to promote Ghanaian music through this marathon.
Her goal is to surpass the existing record set in 2012 by one Indian, Sunil Waghmare. In this challenging endeavour, she aims to surpass the 105-hour record.
During the event, scheduled to last 117 hours, Miss Aduonum plans to exclusively sing Ghanaian songs, spanning genres such as gospel, highlife, and hiplife.
Afua has cited Hilda Baci’s cook-a-thon where she successfully broke a four-year-old cooking record set by Lata Tondon, as her inspiration.
