1) Magma is the brain-chi… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Magma is the brain-child of drummer/composer Christian Vander formed in Paris, France in 1969, disbanded in 1983 and reformed in 1996. Starting with a base of experimental rock heavily influenced by jazz and 20th century classical music, the band developed such a unique style of progressive rock that it became a new genre called Zeuhl. Characterized by insistent and repetitive rhythms, dramatic vocals, virtuosic solos, heavy bass playing, and jazzy drums, Zeuhl has been emulated by numerous followers from all over the world. Almost all of Magma's lyrics are sung in the constructed language known as "Kobaïan" and concerns a lengthy saga about Earth and the planet Kobaïa, with spiritual and environmental themes.
2) Magma is a progressive folk group from Argentina. The music retains strong Andean influences and is notable for incorporating the flutes of the region. Their output is notable for meshing the Andean elements with Spanish folk guitar and the adoption of European song structures and instrumentation. Extended prog and folk songs see the use of both Mellotron and pan flutes. Despite being an 1980s outfit, their music is reminiscent of 70s progressive rock and 60s/70s folk. Truly a great example of music transculturation on various levels.
3) Magma is a German progressive/spacey band that recorded an album called Rock Duo Magma in 1975.
4) Magma (마그마) is a psychedelic band from Korea.
5) Magma is a pop-rock group from Poland.

The lyrics to Magma's song "Blum Tendiwa" are primarily in Kobaïan, a constructed language created by the band's founder and leader, Christian Vander. The song begins with the repetition of "Dowëh wëriwï ïost" and "Ämah rüst," which roughly translate to "the sun rises" and "we must go." The following lines are more abstract, but the repeated phrase "dowëri wï ïss dëh wëloï" can be interpreted as "we are at the threshold of the world."
The chorus is a call and response between the lead singer and backup vocalists, chanting "Zaïn tü Zaïn!" which means "be yourself." This refrain is meant to be empowering and encouraging.
The latter half of the song repeats similar phrases and incorporates more complex vocalizations, including high-pitched falsettos and guttural growls. The final line, "Döwatsïndöh siwili wöwöwö / Dowëri söhn dowï wëloï / Dowëh wëh loh wï sünd/ë / Döwatsïndöh!" is thought to mean "the world is full of crevices and holes / we must fill them / we go to the end!"
Overall, "Blum Tendiwa" is a passionate and intense song that showcases Magma's unique fusion of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and avant-garde styles.

une merveille avec un des plus grands batteurs ............
@basilejabnique1472
I miss Antoine's voice in nowadays Magma's music.
@baragdul5522
Entièrement d'accord. Aknin est affligeant.
@M.A.Cornell
Agree! But it's not so much the voice as the spirit and energy. Hervé's tone is rich and he's possibly a technically better singer, but he lacks Antoine's all-in spirit. He's a classical singer, while Antoine was a blues singer. I prefer Antoine.

This and theusz hamtaahk are the best sounding things I have ever heard in my life.
@sinajakelic
I feel that way about Zess and MDK, also Ommadawn and Amarok by Mike Oldfield.

un des plus grands batteurs au monde, doublé d'un extraordinaire compositeur !
@kurganseth4799
20 ans que j'écoute Magma, 4 ou 5 concerts vus en vrai et autant de trips, 4 ou 5 albums possédés MAIS c'est la 1ère fois que j'entends ce titre O_o J'ai un peu honte ...
MAIS QUELLE BELLE SURPRISE !
Tout à la fois en douceur et en force, superbe, planant, des harmonies vocales à tomber par terre qui me fait encore plus regretter les Paga, j'adore le son du synthé.
Ma journée est faite :-)
@TheFripp666
Qu'importe si tu ne découvres que maintenant cette plage de Magma, l'essentiel c'est que tu l'aimes et tu peux sourire en l'écoutant et en pensant à ceux qui ne connaissent pas encore ^^
