One of the most unique artists of the 1970s, Exuma was a singular talent. Mixing the infectious rhythms and folkloric qualities of Bahamian music with rock, country, and other U.S. influences, and adding a sharply satiric element of social commentary, Exuma's music aimed for the heart and the feet at the same time. Mixing powerful Afro-Caribbean rhythms with his shamanistic exhortations and vividly Obeah-inspired lyrics, Exuma, The Obeah Man and Exuma II (both issued in 1970) were conceptually similar to what Nigeria's Fela Kuti was beginning to do around the same time.
