About Afua's singathon
Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum, who is also the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Askof Productions Limited, will host the four-day GWR attempt at the Akwaaba Village.
She aims not only to achieve a personal milestone but also to promote Ghanaian music through this marathon.
Her goal is to surpass the existing record set in 2012 by one Indian, Sunil Waghmare. In this challenging endeavour, she aims to surpass the 105-hour record.
During the event, scheduled to last 117 hours, Miss Aduonum plans to exclusively sing Ghanaian songs, spanning across genres such as gospel, highlife, and hiplife.
Afua has cited Hilda Baci’s cook-a-thon where she successfully broke a four-year-old cooking record set by Lata Tondon, as her inspiration.
