Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, the Ghanaian attempting the Guinness World Record for longest individual singing, has stated she is still pursuing the record.
Afua Asantewaa stated that she is still contemplating another try at the sing-a-thon record after her first attempt failed.
She compared her record attempt to presidential candidates who lose elections but keep campaigning and getting ready for the next ones.
Just as the Black Stars never give up on football despite losing in World Cup competitions, she will also not give up.
“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 a presidential candidate attempting for presidency.
“I have never in my life seen the Black Stars quit football because they did not 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 wasn’t successful, it does not mean that I should give up.
“We are still considering and so moving forward I believe that a lot has been learned. We have only two weeks to attempt what we did last year December so we have enough months ahead that is if we would want to go again, to probably prepare and hit it once and for all,” she said in an interview with GhOne TV.
Afua Asantewaa completed her singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023 aiming to break the current record by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.
