Zao

Zao was a French fusion super-group formed in 1971 by two former members of Magma: François Cahen and Yochk'O Seffer, and featuring many other talents of the 1970s progressive rock and fusion fields. Zao took the Magma "Zeuhl" brand of fusion and jazzed it up a bit, adding folk elements of Seffer's cultural heritage, and lots of other unique touches. After Seffer left, the band became more jazz-rock. They have reformed at least twice since disbanding in the late 1970s.
