Ghanaian woman, Afua Asantewaa has completed a 126-hour singing marathon in an attempt to break the record for the longest individual singing session.
Gatekeepers News reports that the 33 year-old kicked off the attempt at midnight on Christmas Eve and concluded on Friday at 7am local time. Her effort awaits official recognition by the Guinness World Record.
Asantewaa performed 125 songs from the different genres of Ghanaian music in her singing marathon.
According to the rules set by GWR, she is allowed a five-minute break every hour or twenty minutes after four hours.
“It would be an inspiration to all women to come out of your comfort zone and try new opportunities,” Asantewaa told BBC.
“When you put your mind to it you can achieve it”.
Ghana’s music stars such as Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, and Sarkodie visited the venue of the competition to cheer her on.
Mahamudu Bawumia, Ghana’s Vice-President, was also present to show his support.
Asamtewaa aimed to beat the 105-hour record set by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian, in 2012.
