At midnight on Sunday, Afua Asantewaa kicked off her attempt to beat the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
She wants to break the existing record of 117 hours set in 2012 by an Indian.
Many Ghanaians who have been throwing their weight behind Afua Asantewaa since the announcement weeks ago, took to social media to celebrate her.
Some people went to the Akwaaba Village to cheer, and show their love and admiration.
See the reactions below:

So I had to go cheer a young girl @efiadahemaa to achieve her #Singathon dreams towards breaking a #GuinessWorldRecord
After 4hrs even the camera men had to abandon their posts and leave the machines to work as a human attempts to stretch beyond reasonable… pic.twitter.com/oJ49t9LTfj

The Sing-A-Thon the Ghanaian lady Afua Asantewaa is doing is not a singing competition to judge her as a good singer with great voice
It is about tenacity and strong will because no human can sing over 200 songs and sound same after a while so appreciate her that way #SingAThon— Austine Woode (@obiMpenaAustine) December 24, 2023
The #Singathon Afia is doing will be the greatest thing that has ever happened in Ghana since 2016, let’s all rally behind and support her. Go girl pic.twitter.com/FnLBTYW8MF

Charley Charley the thing isn't easy at all

She needs strength and serious morale support because eeeii #SingAThon
Let’s give her the support. #Singathon https://t.co/FaCgQMJN9r

What a crowd in the morning can do to help her is try to cheer and if allowed by Guiness Book of records, dance openly to her song because she needs to win the mental war to overcome the body weakness and voice stretching #SingAThon
— Austine Woode (@obiMpenaAustine) December 24, 2023
I'm even tired watching Afua Asantewaa so imagine the different battles she currently fighting. Singing for 6 hours and still 3 days 3 hours to go isn't something to joke with
— Austine Woode (@obiMpenaAustine) December 24, 2023
Self discipline not to go off the plan, mental fortitude to stay in the game and physically strength
Watching the Ghana #Singathon and I hope she makes it. So far the mistakes are making me worried a bit
— Oprah (@st_aidoo) December 24, 2023
I woke up with a dry throat because of the harmattan and I’m just realizing Afua Asantewaa is going to sing for 100 plus hours. I mean more grease to your elbow sis… I can’t imagine. This is indeed a real challenge. #singathon
— SJSvlogOnYoutube (@Shejackiesays) December 21, 2023
Let's do this Afua Asantewaa. Our prayers are with you. #Singathon #Guinnessworldrecord #SingathonOnJoyPrime
