With her raspy and deep voice, intonations that reflected her authenticity and suffering, she is one of the symbols of the hippie and beatnik counterculture of the 1960s. Her name: Janis Joplin. Behind her shattered destiny, discover her tragic fate.

A Rebel Driven by Music

Who wouldn't recognize her distinct tone? Janis Joplin, with her exceptional voice capable of interpreting the saddest blues, the most rebellious rock, and the gentlest ballads, has undoubtedly moved everyone fortunate enough to see her in concert. If Janis had this intensity on stage, it's surely because she always sought it, even from her adolescence. Born on January 19, 1943, in Port Arthur, Texas, she hailed from a small, conformist, and even reactionary middle-class environment. A world far removed from her aspirations.
