Viva, a German rock band from Franken, was formed in 2016 as Viva Germania, initially focusing on covering German-language rock music. The group began writing original songs in 2018 and released their first single "Kein Entkommen" that November. In December 2019, they signed with Rookies & Kings and rebranded to Viva. Their debut album Lebenslang was produced by Jörg “Warthy” Wartmann and released on May 1, 2020. The band's subsequent albums include Unser Weg, released in June 2021 under Drakkar Entertainment, and Das ist die Wahrheit, released in March 2023. Viva has also been involved in charitable efforts, releasing the track "Fick Dich Corona" during the COVID-19 pandemic to support the German Red Cross.
