Album Notes & Community Reviews

Releasing his sophomore album in the very same year as his groundbreaking debut, Exuma continued his astonishing exploration of Bahamian folk music and Voodoo mythology. 'Exuma II' is a fiercely rhythmic, incredibly tribal masterpiece, matching intensely manic Junkanoo percussion with wonderfully warm, deeply ritualistic acoustic psychedelia.
