The Ghanaian journalist Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum has expressed her profound affection for the late dancehall performer Ebony. This December, she plans to try to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon by an individual.
She claims that she adores everything about the deceased musician, who perished in a horrifying vehicle accident in February 2018. Afua claimed that because she could relate to Ebony so well, her love of music won her over.
When asked who she would have preferred to see at the event outside her family, the journalist said as much in an interview with Joy Prime's Roselyn Felli.
"Ebony, she's no longer. Her love of music was contagious.She was a music lover, and I could relate to her right away. During her performances, I used to tell my husband, "I could do exactly what she is doing." However, it is regrettable that I was an entrepreneur, as you are aware, and those roles limit what you can accomplish.
She simply made things simpler for me. She was crying as she said, "You could tell that she had a free spirit despite everything she was going through."
Ms. Aduonum submitted her application for the attempt, and the Guinness World Record board has accepted it. To beat the existing record, which is 105 hours and was set by Sunil Waghmare (India) in Nagpur, India, from March 3 to 7, 2012, she must sing for at least 117 hours.
Ghanaians have reacted positively to the news of her endeavor, and several musicians from the country, such as Shatta Wale and Sista Afia, have publicly endorsed her.
As she sets out on her incredible voyage, the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has also declared that it is now formally partnered with her.
