It is the hope of Ghanaians that their very own, Afua Asantewaa Aduonum will break the record of the longest singing marathon by an individual which is currently held by Sunil Waghmare on Thursday.
However, why many Ghanaians are
solidly rooting for Afua to make Ghana proud, it appears not much attention has
been given to Sunil Waghmare, the current Guinness World record holder for the
longest singing marathon.
According to the official report by Guinness World Records, the longest
singing marathon by an individual lasted 105 hours and was achieved by Sunil
Waghmare (India) in Nagpur, India, from March 3-7 2012.
The record attempt started at 11.06
am on March 3, with a variety of popular Indian songs being sung. No song was
repeated within 4 hours. The attempt ended on the evening of March
7after which Mr Waghmare joined in with a singing song with his supporters.
Afua aims to sing for more than 117
hours to break Waghmare’s record
