George Quaye, President of the Art Writers Association of Ghana (ATWAG), conveyed his excitement in a statement addressing the ongoing attempt by Ghanaian musician Afua Asantewaa to break the Guinness World Record for the longest musical performance.

As Asantewaa continues to captivate audiences, having performed continuously for 24 hours with two more days to go, President Quaye passionately urged the nation to unite in support of this extraordinary endeavor. He emphasized the significance of acknowledging and nurturing the arts in Ghana.

“Ghana is once again making its mark, and this time it’s not in science, math, or sports, but in the arts! Let’s all rally to support her as much as we can!” George Quaye in his statement copied by Blogger and journalist Attractive Mustapha .

He underscored the role of the arts in the country’s success, particularly in the notable achievement, “December in GH.”
