It would be futile, at this point in time, to sing the praises of MAGMA ; it has become a legend. In forming MAGMA in 1969, Christian VANDER initiated one of the richest creative efforts of the last 30 years. The group became successful in France very quickly and this fame soon spread abroad. One can ascribe this universality to the innate expressive force of MAGMA's music and to the successive waves of exceptional personalities who brought so much to the endeavour...beginning with Christian VANDER, recognized worldwide as a drum hero and as a composer of the utmost originality and expressive force.
