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.

The lyrics to Magma's song Zortsung are primarily composed in Kobaian, the invented language created by the band's founder Christian Vander. The song is a powerful and intense expression of the band's signature style, which combines elements of progressive rock, jazz fusion, and experimental music with the alien sounds of Kobaian chant.
The first section of the song begins with the repeated phrase "Dowëri soïa", followed by "D/ëm d/ëweloï Ëwëhn dëh Šlakëhnd/ë", which is a call to the people of Kobaia to join together and celebrate their unity. The lyrics then move into a chant of "Doweri sün d/ëloï Dëh wlasïk Kobaïa", which translates to "Our souls are united in the spirit of Kobaia".
The second section of the song contains the repeated phrase "Zëbëhn dëh Štot dëh Wurdah!" which means "Let the cities of words be destroyed!", and is a call to reject the limitations of language and embrace a more primal form of communication. The final part of the song repeats the phrase "Dowëri sünd/ë wëhrr", which translates to "Our souls are free", and then ends with a triumphant cry of "WÏ DOWËRI!", which means "We are united!".
