Kobaïa my love.

Last thursday, I had the chance to go with my father to see one of the best drummer still on this plan of existence.
Magma was at the casino de paris for its 40 years of evolution tour.
Subtitled the music of the forces of the universe , Magma is a great group full of wonderful musicians. I don't know much of teh group so I won't be delving nto their history, the concept of Kobaïa and such.
I wanted just to send a note about the drummer and main force behind Magma : Christian Vander.
That is my second time witnessing him play and boy it's getting better and better... Christian as a way of playing that can only be described as flowing. Music coming from his set is flowing, precise, not over powering.
Reminded me of the Zhuang Zi fable of the butcher. Christian has such a complete mastery over his drums that all his movements and gestures, even the most swift ones reek of perfection and feel natural yet precise.
It is an amazing experience to witness people having so much mastery in their skill.
Truly magical moment..
