Exuma - "Exuma" £11.99 Exuma - "Exuma II" £11.99
Notes from repertoire.de : "In 1970, decades before ‘World Music’ became a music biz trade term, a New York based seven piece ensemble called Exuma caused an international stir. The superb debut album of this multi-racial outfit from the West Indies and the Bahamas, fronted by singer Tony ‘The Obeah Man’ McKay, is now available for the very first time on CD. At the time, their magnificently rhythmic sound fell on fertile grounds, notably in Europe, where Exuma (‘the ghost of water and air’) became a cult item. Take a chance on this one and explore 40 minutes of sounds from another hemisphere! " "Only a few months after Exuma's tremendous success with their eponymous debut album (‘Exuma’, also available on Repertoire REPUK 1006), charismatic singer Tony ‘The Obeah Man’ McKay and his band released their follow-up LP on the Mercury label. Based once again on intriguing Afro-American and Indian percussion and tribal chants, the seven-piece New York City based group landed another great album, that will now be available in the record stores for the first time on CD. A cult recording, like its predecessor, it will delight both rock and world music fans alike"
