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.

The song "Sé lah Maahrï Donsaï" by Magma is sung in Kobaian language, a constructed language created by the band's founder and drummer Christian Vander. The song begins with the repeated lines "Sé lah Maahrï Donsaï, Sé lowiloï, Dö wï sün", which translates to "Here comes the great Donsai, You are nothing, I see you". The lyrics seem to convey the arrival of a powerful figure, possibly a deity or a leader, who towers over those around them with a sense of superiority.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more cryptic and abstract. The lines "Ewëhn dëh Šlakehnd/ë, Doweri sün d/ëloï, Dëh wlasïk Kobaïa" seem to suggest a connection to Kobaia, a fictional planet that Magma's music often revolves around. The final section of the song features "Zëbëhn dëh Štot dëh Wurdah!", which translates to "I proclaim the law of the word!", followed by a frenzied repetition of the word "Wëhlo".
