Vida!... is the third album by Canadian synthpop group Kon Kan, released in 1993 by Hypnotic Records (a subsidiary of A&M Records).

Contents

Two singles were released from the album: "Sinful Wishes" and "S.O.L.", the latter a collaboration with Crash Morgan (whose life ended in 1995 after suffering a heart attack on stage whilst performing with Canadian rock band Big Sugar).

"Moonage Daydream" was originally recorded by David Bowie, from his album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

"Move to Move (Revisited)" is an updated version of "Move to Move" from Kon Kan's debut album.

"January Man" features Coney Hatch guitarist Carl Dixon on mandolin.

Barry Harris and drummer Anton Cook later reunited in the band Sick Seconds in 2011. They released their self-titled debut album in March 2013.
