Carlos Silver almost makes a Guinness record for singing
On Wednesday, 3 April 2019, Carlos Silver completed for a second time what he believed would be enough hours of consecutive singing to break the previous Guinness record set by Indian Sunil Waghmare. He had sung consecutively from Friday, 29 March to Wednesday, 3 April. The bad news, though, is that the record failed to be certified by Guinness. Mexican Carlos Tapia Rojas, representative of Guinness for the Dominican Republic, said that Silver made several pauses of more than the allowed 30 seconds.
Silver had performed for 106 continuous hours at the Parque Eugenio María de Hostos, off the Malecón in Santo Domingo. He reached the record by singing around 5,000 songs from Friday at noon until Wednesday at 11am. His last songs were: “Cómo duele”, “Mucho corazón”, “Devuélveme el amor” y “Con el viento a tu favor.”
To set the record, had Silver worked from inside a glass box where he was accompanied by medics and his relatives who would decide if he had to stop.
At the end of the feat, he told the public: “I risked my life taking on this challenge. I told my mother if I die, bury me with a smile.”
After reaching the 106 hours of continuous singing, Silver was taken to the Clínica Cruz Jiminián for recovery.
