Magma, formed in Paris in 1969 by drummer Christian Vander, is a pioneering French progressive rock band renowned for their unique "Zeuhl" genre—a fusion of jazz, minimalism, and 20th-century classical influences. Singing in Kobaïan, a language created by Vander, their music narrates the saga of a fictional planet, Kobaïa. Their 1973 album, *Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh*, is a landmark in progressive rock, showcasing their innovative sound. Magma's enduring legacy continues to inspire musicians and captivate audiences worldwide. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magma_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
