Ghana's Afua Asantewaa Aduonum is on a journey to break a world record for the longest individual singing marathon.
In her attempt to break the Guinness world record by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in March 2012, Afua has been singing Ghanaian songs back-to-back at the Akwaaba village.
Afua's journey which commenced at midnight on December 24 is expected to end on December 27, which means she will be singing non-stop for 4 days 9 hours.
Afua Asantewaa, the name even portends the fighting spirit in you. Go Girl! 🔥#SingathonOnJoyPrime #afuaasantewaasingathon https://t.co/CoqWWjRkUh
