Suchetha Satish, the 18 year old multilingual singer, set a new Guinness World Record for the Most Languages Sung in a Concert, by singing in 140 languages, 101 foreign language songs and 39 Indian, in a concert which lasted 9 hours, on November 24th 2023, at the Indian Consulate Auditorium, Dubai. This was a prelude to the COP 28 Summit which was held in Dubai from November 30th to December 12th.
Though she can sing in 150 languages, a count of 140 was selected symbolically to represent the 140 nation Heads invited by the UAE for the COP28 summit. Suchetha started her concert with her thought provoking words, “Climate change is very real and it’s our duty to prevent it.”
Suchetha started in alphabetical order by 12 pm with Awadhi song and ended her concert at 9 pm with a song dedicated to India in Hindi, all without refering to any lyrics or notation.
