Guess What?

Woman rocker Sylvia Saartje is working hard to rejuvenate her
musical career. Once known as Indonesia's Janis Joplin, Sylvia,
or Jippi, is shopping her new album around to producers.

"I want to release my newest creation, a mix of alternative
rock, blues and pop music. I still need to find a producer," the
woman who graced Indonesia's male-dominated rock stages in the
early 1970s said from Malang, East Java.

Jippi is not discouraged by the increasing number of new women
rock stars in the country. "I have actually entered a menopausal
period in the local music scene, but I am still energetic and
full of power," Jippi said.

She believes God's blessing, self-discipline and activities
such as yoga help her maintain her powerful, husky voice.

To promote her new album and to introduce herself to a younger
audience, Jippi plans to stage a show called Janis Joplin Night.

"I haven't found the right time and place to hold such an
event," said Jippi, who adores the bands No Doubt and Oasis.
