Guess What? Tri Hanurita Sudwikatmono

Tri Hanurita Sudwikatmono, third child of Indonesian tycoon Sudwikatmono, plans to promote local musicians, who seem to be losing ground to competition from foreign artists, with profits from the scheduled Bon Jovi concert.

"The profits I make from the Bon Jovi concert will go to that purpose. We don't expect to make a profit from local musicians," Tri said during a press conference early this week.

The concert is slated for May 6 at the Ancol former race circuit, North Jakarta.

A graduate from the International Relations School at the University of Indonesia, Tri, 28, was accompanied by her youngest brother Agus Sudwikatmono, 23. Her brother has just returned from Los Angeles after getting his masters in International business.

Tri is making her showbiz debut with the concert. She is paying the performer less than US$350,000. Other agencies reportedly offered up to $500,000, but her firm, Indo-Ent Productions, won the contract. Did she have help?

"The others came after we had signed the contract," she asserted. (jsk)
