A French Fusion super-group, formed in 1972 by two early members of Magma: François “Faton” Cahen and Jeff “Yochk’o” Seffer, and featuring many other talents of the 1970’s Prog 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 1970’s.
