Afua Asantewaa O. Aduonum, the Ghanaian Journalist who is set to attempt to break a Guinness world record for the longest singing marathon by an individual this December has declared her deep love for the late Ghanaian Dancehall artist, Ebony.

According to her, she loves everything about the late singer who lost her life through a horrific car crash in February 2018. Afua averred that Ebony’s passion for music won her heart as she could easily resonate with her.

The journalist, made this statement while speaking in an interview with Joy Prime’s Roselyn Felli, when she was asked who she would have loved to see at the venue aside from her family.

“She’s no more, Ebony. I loved her passion for music…She loved music and I could easily resonate with her. I remember I used to tell my husband during her performances that ‘I could do exactly what she is doing.’ But it is just unfortunate that I was an entrepreneur and you know in those positions you can’t do certain things.

“And she just made it easier for me. You could feel that she had a free spirit regardless of whatever she was going through,” she said while shedding tears.

Ms Aduonum sent in her application for the attempt and has been approved by the Guinness World Record board. She is expected to sing for over 117 hours or more in order to break the current record at 105 hours and was achieved by Sunil Waghmare (India) in Nagpur, India, from 3 to 7 March 2012.

The news of her attempt has been well received by Ghanaians and some Ghanaian musicians including Shatta Wale, Sista Afia amongst others have openly thrown their support behind her.

The Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) has also announced that it has officially partnered with her as she embarks on the amazing journey.
