Riva was a pop rock band from Zadar, in what was then Yugoslavia, and now Croatia in the late 1980s. They represented Yugoslavia at the 1989 contest in Lausanne and won. The group didn't even make an appearance at the 1990 contest in Zagreb, and disbanded in 1991. In 2008, former band member Emilija Kokić attempted to represent Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 in Belgrade as a soloist but finished in sixth place in the national finals.
