Ghanaian singer Afua Asantewaa, who previously aimed for the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, has announced her intention to make another attempt.
Reflecting on her previous unsuccessful attempt, Asantewaa revealed during an interview with GhOne TV that she has been contemplating this second effort for some time and is now resolved to try again.
“I have been reflecting a lot, and I believe that the record attempts I undertook are similar to the Black Stars participating in a World Cup or a presidential candidate running for office. I have seen presidential candidates who have not won but continue to try. So, if I attempted the world record and was not successful, it doesn’t mean I should give up,” she explained.
Asantewaa shared that her team only had two weeks to prepare for their initial attempt in December 2023. With several months ahead to properly prepare for this new attempt, she is confident about achieving success this time and bringing honour to Ghana.
“I believe that a lot has been learned. We only had two weeks to prepare for our attempt last year. Now, we have several months ahead to prepare properly, achieve success, and continue to make Ghana proud. Even if we fail, let’s still put Ghana on the map,” she added.
