Exuma

Exuma returns with Exuma II, the hypnotic follow-up that deepens the spellbinding fusion of Bahamian folk traditions, mystical storytelling, and raw, soulful performance. First released in 1970 on Mercury Records, Exuma II expands the singular vision that introduced the world to Exuma’s otherworldly sound earlier that year.

On Exuma II, the artist refines the eccentric, ritualistic atmosphere of his debut while offering moments of greater restraint and melodic clarity. Where the first album dazzled with its unpredictability and ecstatic intensity, Exuma II is “perhaps a little less strange and a little more sedate,” retaining the core mystique and power that made the original so unforgettable. The result is an album that balances haunting folk narratives, trance-like percussion, and rich vocal invocation—inviting listeners deeper into Exuma’s mythic realm without losing the primal energy that defines his music.
