Viva was a melodic hard rock/heavy metal band formed by Barbara Schenker (the sister of Rudi and Michael) in 1980. The first album was unashamed pop-rock but with the addition of Paganini on vocals the band heavied up and established a mid-level career on the European hard rock scene. Schenker and Paganini eventually left but the Viva name was revived a few times, most recently in 2007.
