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.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Magma's song "Fur dihhel kobaia" are in a constructed language called Kobaïan, created by the band's lead member Christian Vander. Kobaïan is a fictional language that Vander developed to convey the band's message and emotions without relying on any particular language or culture. As a result, it is difficult to provide a precise translation of the lyrics, but they are meant to evoke feelings and emotions rather than convey a specific narrative.

The repetition of phrases like "Ëwëh sëwëh dëwëh dötnah wï wï rëwëhn döh" and "Ëssa - wïl wïl wöhl wöhl - hël hël" creates a hypnotic and trance-like effect. The use of repetitive and abstract language is characteristic of Magma's music, which often explores themes of spirituality and transcendence.

The chorus sections, with phrases like "Hël hël!" and "Ümüri ümüri dëh worissoï," are meant to be chanted or sung with intensity and fervor. These chants add to the ritualistic and otherworldly atmosphere of the song.

Magma's music, including "Fur dihhel kobaia," is often described as "zeuhl," a genre created by the band that blends progressive rock, jazz, and classical music with complex rhythms and harmonies. The use of Kobaïan language further distinguishes Magma's music and adds to its unique and enigmatic character.
