VIVA — the German '80s heavy metal band featuring Barbara Schenker, sister of Michael Schenker and Rudolf Schenker of SCORPIONS fame — has reformed. Joining Barbara in the group's current incarnation is vocalist Marc Paganini from the band's classic lineup alongside Ricko Walsh on drums and Gui Ghost on bass.

Barbara Schenker formed the rock version of VIVA (after a short stint as a "pop-rock" act) in 1981 at a SCORPIONS gig in London where she met Marc Paganini backstage inviting him to join VIVA as a frontman.

Barbara was voted "Best Keyboard Player" by Metal Hammer magazine in March 1985
