"Magma is a French progressive rock band founded in Paris in 1969 by classically trained drummer Christian Vander, who claimed as his inspiration a \"vision of humanity's spiritual and ecological future\" that profoundly disturbed him.

Later, conflict arises when the Koba\u00EFans \u2014 descendants of the original colonists \u2014 encounter other Earth refugees Vander invented a constructed language, Koba\u00EFan, in which most lyrics are sung. In a 1977 interview with Vander and long-time Magma vocalist Klaus Blasquiz, Blasquiz said that Koba\u00EFan is a \"phonetic language made by elements of the Slavonic and Germanic languages to be able to express some things musically. The language has of course a content, but not word by word.\" Vander himself has said that, \"When I wrote, the sounds [of Koba\u00EFan] came naturally with it \u2013 I didn\u2019t intellectualise the process by saying \"Ok, now I\u2019m going to write some words in a particular language\", it was really sounds that were coming at the same time as the music.\" Later albums tell different stories set in more ancient times; however, the Koba\u00EFan language remains an integral part of the music. In 1986, the French label Seventh Records was founded in order to (re-)publish Magma's and Vander's work. Over the years, Seventh has also released albums by related artists such as Stella Vander, Patrick Gauthier and Collectif Mu."@en . . . . . "group_or_band"@en . . . . .
