Mangaluru, Oct 25: Renowned musician and multi-instrumentalist Reuben Jason Machado is set to enter the Golden Book of World Records with a never-before-attempted feat — the longest back swim while playing the flute. The event will take place on October 29, 2025 at 10:00 am at the St Aloysius College Swimming Pool, Mangaluru.
According to record officials, no such achievement has ever been recorded in any world record compendium, making this a historic global first. The attempt showcases an extraordinary blend of endurance, breath control, and musical artistry, reflecting Reuben’s dedication to both fitness and the performing arts.
The event is being organized by St Aloysius (Deemed to be University), which will host students, faculty, and special guests for this remarkable occasion. Dignitaries, music enthusiasts, and well-wishers are invited to witness and bless the record attempt as Reuben makes history.
Reuben Jason Machado, an alumnus and former journalism lecturer at St Aloysius College (Autonomous), served at the institution for around two years before dedicating himself fully to music. Today, he is an established professional musician, performing for the film industries of Bollywood, Sandalwood, and Coastalwood. He has played at major events across India, conducts online and international music classes, and is proficient in multiple instruments including the flute, saxophone, guitar, harmonica, trumpet, and several others.
Reuben was also part of the World Culture Festival (2016) held on the banks of the Yamuna River, a Guinness World Record event that brought together musicians from over 150 countries performing in harmony.
In addition to his musical achievements, Reuben is a qualified lifesaver, certified by the National Institute of Water Sports (NIWS) — a skill that complements the physical endurance required for this upcoming world record attempt.
Most recently, Reuben had the honor of performing at the prestigious wedding celebration of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, showcasing his artistry on one of India’s grandest stages.
With his upcoming world record attempt, Reuben Jason Machado continues to inspire through his rare combination of talent, discipline, and innovation, proving that music truly knows no boundaries.
