Read: Afua Asantewaa Almost Gave Up On Day 2 Of Sing-A-Thon
Afua Asantewaa’s determination to complete her longest singing marathon was almost shattered on the second day.
However, thanks to the support and encouragement from her team, led by the doctor, she found the strength to persevere. Dr. Grace Buckman shared this inspiring story during her interview on Accra-based Joy FM and this new revelation is reinforcing the vibrant discourse as far as entertainment in Ghana is concerned.
“One of our difficult days was day 2. Day 2, late morning, afternoon thereabout, where I think she just stopped everything and just left the space. She says she is not doing it again. On Day 2, I actually thought everything was ending.
Then again, our psychotherapy was very important, working on the mind. At that time, the psychologist wasn’t around, and we had to call on a speaker; we knew what to say. The team was solid, so within a few minutes, she got up and said, I’m a champion let’s go, let’s do this,” she said.
Afua Asantewaa Aduonom concluded her remarkable journey in an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the longest solo singing marathon on December 29.
As it stands now, Afua Asantewaa has surpassed the previous record holder by breaking the longest singing marathon by an individual, surpassing the 105-hour mark by clocking 126 hours and 52 minutes.
This remarkable achievement was accomplished through a five-day event that commenced precisely at midnight on Sunday, December 24th and concluded on December 29, 2023.
Afua views this as a wonderful opportunity to showcase exceptional Ghanaian music to the world. She has committed to exclusively performing local music throughout her record-breaking attempt.
The event garnered immense support from thousands of music enthusiasts and well-wishers, including mainstream celebrities in Ghana, who gathered at Akwaaba Village to show solidarity and witness this historic moment. As part of the evidence, Miss Asantewaa mentioned that she is required to document all her practice sessions, preparations, and interviews, which will be included in the final video of her attempt.
