Keyboardist sets new RI record

JAKARTA: Lia Aprilia has set a new Indonesian record of
playing the keyboard and singing for 24 hours non-stop at Ancol
Dreamland Park, North Jakarta, on Saturday afternoon prior to New
Year celebrations.

Her previous record was 10 hours. Lia is now eyeing to break
the world record of 50 hours in New York, U.S., in March.

"This record-breaking event turned into a fund raiser for the
earthquake and tsunami victims in Aceh," she said.

Lia, herself an entertainer in hometown Bandung, started
playing from 4 p.m. on Friday until 4 p.m. on Saturday. Her new
record was verified by the Indonesian Book of Records. -- Antara
