It's a site devoted to the 70's French group Magma, which was singing in a
constructed language called Kobaïan (though I'm not convinced that it's
something different than a simple relex of French). Their songs describe a
future in which a group of people leave a chaotic Earth to find a new star and
found a new society on a planet called Kobaïa. The songs talk about the history
of this planet, in the language of the planet itself, and supposedly in its own
musical style :)) .
