Lilis Surjani (Perfected Spelling: Lilis Suryani; 22 August 1948 – 7 October 2007) was an Indonesian singer, known especially for her 1965 album Gang Kelinci and the song of the same name, a song highly critical of Indonesian president Sukarno's "Guided Democracy" program, which it criticizes (allegorically) for ending a period of liberal democracy and replacing it with a totalitarian system of censorship and economic exploitation.

[1][2] This studio had her perform on the fledgling state television station TVRI, and with them she released her earliest songs, "Cai Kopi" and "Di Kala Malam Tiba", both of which were hits.

[1] Suryani was sent to the front line of the Indonesia–Malaysia confrontation to entertain the troops in 1964; some years earlier she had gone to the neighbouring country to perform in an independence day celebration.

[4] During the mid-1960s Suryani recorded numerous patriotic songs, including "Tiga Malam" and "Pergi Berjuang".

[4] Suryani helped establish several organisations for singers in Jakarta, including Persatuan Artis Penyanyi Ibukota and Badan Koordinasi Seniman Indonesia,[2] and continued stage performances into the 2000s.
