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 "Köhntarkösz" are primarily nonsensical and do not have a clear meaning in terms of literal interpretation. Magma is known for their unique language called Kobaïan, which is used in their music to create an otherworldly and mysterious atmosphere. The lyrics in this song consist of repetitive phrases and sounds that contribute to the overall hypnotic and trance-like nature of the music.
The repetition of the phrases "Dëm wëloï dëm wëhrë sündë" and "Wëhrë sün dö loï" create a sense of rhythmic urgency and intensity. The use of repetition is a common characteristic in Magma's music, as it enhances the hypnotic and meditative quality of their sound. The chanting-like quality of the vocals adds to the ritualistic and primal essence of the music.
Although the lyrics themselves may not have a direct meaning, they serve as a vehicle for the emotional and spiritual expression conveyed through the music. Magma's music often transcends traditional language barriers and seeks to connect with listeners on a deeper level, tapping into the primal instincts and emotions that are universally experienced.

So tender at times and brutal at others. Probably my favourite Magma composition. There is something haunting about the first few minutes of this piece of music.
@universozero872
This is not only progressive rock, this is the progressive life!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
@mytvsettowatch
I'm so happy they reunited, so the world would give them the credit they deserve! Long Live MAGMA! 😎
@danalawrence4473
I've seen this played live in person twice and each time I did not think it could get more intense or rise higher. And it does- this is the most astonishing compsoiiton every written, inversions and intensity and abnormal behind-the-beat rhythms. And this version is superb!
@thierrybellier4646
ça prend aux tripes !! musique inspirée, intemporel et magique !! Christian Vander fait partie des grands !!
@MrMrh1958

The section from 1:23 to 2;02 is,to me, the most beautiful , sublime piece of music ever conceived by anyone since the creation of music itself.
It's that beautiful, perfect vocal harmony at 1:42 that nails it for me..pfft!..just ridiculous artistry.
@hekuly
obrigado MAGMA, ...tão perto do perfeito. não conheço melhor banda
@necronimicuskombateuhr5606
Je viens de découvrir cette sublime version live de
''Kontarkosz''. Le son est excellent
Décidemment on ne peut que regretter le départ de antoine Paganotti
(et de sa soeur)., très convaincant au chant
le son du clavier solo (benoit Wideman?) me rappelle les folles années du ''Riverbop'''
(Top,Vander,Lockwood, Wideman) et l album ""Fusion""
