Christian Vander (born 21 February 1948) is a French drummer, composer, singer and founder of the progressive rock band Magma.

[citation needed] Vander is known for his extended compositions, drumming, and shrill falsetto improvisational/scat singing.

His music fuses jazz, rock, classical and operatic influences, and draws on the work of musicians as diverse as John Coltrane and Carl Orff.

He was married to singer Stella Vander who released many EPs herself in the 1960s and has performed vocal duties for Magma since 1972.

[3] Vander often appears on Magma albums under his Kobaïan name: Zebëhn Straïn dë Ğeuštaah.
