Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, a Ghanaian event planner who was unsuccessful in her quest to break the Guinness record for the longest singing, has declared that she will start a “Thank You Tour” on August 24, 2024.
Afua Asantewaa tweeted that the trip will start in Toronto, Canada, and that it is her way of giving back to the nations that helped her in her quest for a Guinness World Record.
Afua Asantewaa to embark on ‘Thank You’ tour for failed GWR attempt
In addition, Asantewaa urged both Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians to participate in the tour, which is supported by the travel company Airmart and ends on September 3, 2024.
“I have a tall list of countries, and I am so grateful for their immense support for me during my GWR record attempt. It’s time to say thank you, beginning with all Ghanaians and non-Ghanaians in Toronto, Canada. Join us for an amazing experience from August 24–September 3, 2024,” she tweeted.
The package for the tour, which comes with a flight ticket for those who wish to join, includes 10 nights hotel accommodation, Canadian visa fees, biometric fees, tours in Toronto, etc.
Last month, the Guinness World Record announced Afua’s unsuccessful attempt to break the current record for the longest singing by an individual, an attempt she made in December 2023.
Afua Asantewaa completed her singing marathon at 126 hours and 52 minutes on December 29, 2023, aiming to break the current record set by Sunil Waghmare, an Indian who sang for 105 hours in 2012.
But the GWR explained later in February 2024 that Afua Asaantewaa’s attempt failed because of “break timings not being met,” which they assert is “a standard rule across all of our [GWR] longest marathon records.”
