Viva is the seminal second album by the German band La Düsseldorf, originally released in 1978 and widely regarded as their most successful work to date. The album features the hit singles "Rheinita," which stands as their most popular track, and "Cha Cha 2000," an expansive and utopian composition blending hypnotic repetition, delicate piano passages, evocative chants, and rich electronic textures. This track has become the band’s signature anthem and a dreamy manifesto envisioning a more ideal society.

Viva represents a masterful fusion of modern electronic elements, crisp pop sensibility, and the experimental spirit of krautrock, solidifying its status as a milestone in the history of German experimental rock music. This vinyl reissue marks the first time Viva has been available on vinyl in fifteen years, offering both longtime fans and new listeners a chance to experience one of Germany’s most influential rock albums in its classic analog form.
