**Bio: Dara Puspita** Dara Puspita, also known as the Flower Girls, was Indonesia's most successful girl band of the 1960s. Originating from Surabaya, East Java, the band was formed in 1964 by sisters Titiek Adji Rachman on guitar and Lies Soetisnowati Adji Rachman on bass, along with a drummer and Ani Kusuma on rhythm guitar. After Lies temporarily left the band to complete her schooling, Titiek Hamzah filled in on bass. Upon Lies' return, she swapped places with Ani, solidifying a lineup that would strive for international recognition. In 1965, the band moved to Jakarta, quickly establishing themselves as a sensational live act. Their music was heavily influenced by British bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, whose songs were previously banned in Indonesia. Following a shift in the political climate in late 1965, Dara Puspita released their first album, "Jang Pertama," in 1966. They followed it with a self-titled album later that year and two more in 1967, showcasing their beat credentials. In 1968, the band ventured to Europe, touring several countries, including England, Holland, France, and Germany. They recorded singles in England and Holland before returning to Indonesia in late 1971 for concerts. However, by April 1972, they played their last show. Although Susy and Titiek Hamzah
