EXÜMA

Exuma (also known as Exuma the Obeah Man) was a Bahamian-American musician known for his eclectic blend of folk, rock, and Afro-Caribbean influences. Born on February 18, 1942, as Tony McKay (though some sources cite his birth name as MacKenzie Thompson or simply Exuma), he was a singer-songwriter and percussionist who gained a cult following in the 1970s for his raw, emotive performances and socially conscious lyrics.

While the exact details of his later life and career trajectory are not entirely clear, Exuma was associated with the 1970s folk-rock scene and released several albums that showcased his unique sound, which drew on his Bahamian heritage and his experiences as a black man in America. His music often incorporated elements of calypso, spirituals, and other Afro-Caribbean traditions, and he was known for his intense live performances.
