Guinness Website on - Konkani World Record - Marathon Singing at Kalangann, Mangalore
30 January 2008 Singing marathon record smashed! At 10pm on Sunday 27th January 2008 a new Guinness World Record for the Longest Singing Marathon by Multiple Singers was achieved by the Mandd Sobhann Cultural Organisation, in Managalore, India. The stunning 40-hour record was achieved without any rest breaks by a continuous stream of 44 different groups consisting of 1,711 singers belting out 645 songs in the Konkani language. A record of this magnitude is just as much a test of logistical and organisational skills as it is singing durability - the attempt took almost a year of meticulous planning to succeed! As Guinness World Records adjudicator, Keith Pullin, announced that a new record had been set, the vast crowd at the Kalaangann (the world's only Konkani Heritage centre) erupted in deafening applause and cheers, as the organisers danced and embraced with unbridled tears of joy and relief. Fireworks, confetti, and tickertape filled the warm night sky as singers, musicians and spectators partied into the morning of a brand new, world-record-holding-day.
