I had never heard of Exuma before "Nope" and I'm sitting here with my entire mind blown! THIS is pure SOUL They weren't just playing music - they were communing with SPIRITS 😮
The little white boy (that was me) who lived in Nassau at this time first discovered the raw power of music listening to Exuma tracks - amazing sound and amazing musicians - a Bahamian legend!
I was looking at Soul on TV and happen to come across this group. In Philly we have Odunde' celebration for our culture with side street jam sessions that sounds JUST LIKE OBEAH MAN!!!!! I am in love with this group!!!! Where has this been all my life.
Saw him "live" at Carnegie Hall on May 5, 1972. Jeff Beck played the main hall and when that was over, Exuma played at one of the smaller capacity venues.
Empty barrels by exuma hits number twenty two in u.k.1973 stayed on chart for a week. The only hit he ever made. we love you,Mr. McCray, rest in power.
Yea I actually discovered his music through a grand Cherokee commercial where they took Baal it was a pop version of it. I looked for the song and I found the artist and recently I listened to his first two albums and they’re very good 👍
WOW; Thank You for uploading this, I've got all of Exuma's CDs, my dad told me to listen to him, so I did and I got hooked- this is rare footage for sure!!!!
@@brianphillips1374 I will surely have to check into the liner notes, I actually also found recently on 8Track Sealed; Reincarnation by Exuma- I believe it cost me 8 Bucks LoL I am scared to open it, I wouldn’t want it ruined
Thank you for posting. I love their energy it's so genuine. It's one of those performances where the audience becomes an invaluable part of the music 20:25 Who the hell would dislike?
My Bahamian soul brother # 1. One that knew his Native Lucayan, Arawak, Seminole & African roots. Bahamas Lands. Blessed Rich Lands and peoples that have always been persecuted and over looked. Still we Rise . ^_^
Wow! Years and years ago I used to think that my brother and I were the only people who ever heard of Exuma! - He was the Obeah Man! Wow. Thank you for posting this!
The good old days in the Bahamas.🇧🇸 We need more music and nice night clubs like before. The country needs to keep our music alive. The Bahamians need some nice places to go also the tourists.🌻🌼🌾🌸
That winding through the crowd reminds me of Ozo Matli's entrance at a small tiki hut bar in Florida - they took about 20 minutes to get to the stage and just wandered through the crowd starting in the back all while playing the Sesame Street theme song.
very familiar with the Boney M version - I think the first 45 I ever bought at 8 years old (B-side to Rivers of Babylon) and no clue this one was a cover......
The world needs Exuma in 2022.
I agree!
2023
The world doesn't need Exuma,the world needs the Salvation in the Lord of lords,King of kings:Jesus Christ!.Jesus is coming soon!.
I had never heard of Exuma before "Nope" and I'm sitting here with my entire mind blown! THIS is pure SOUL They weren't just playing music - they were communing with SPIRITS 😮

This was electric!! So glad to see live footage of The Obeah Man and the "fellow spirits" that created these transcendental tunes. 🇧🇸🖤

Morocco loves bahamas and the deep genuine bahamian state of art.Exuma is Rare Exuma is the unseen! love peace and folk
His voice is such a versatile and amazing instrument. Greatness.
Love Peele giving spotlight to Exuma "Obeah Man" in Nope. 🇧🇸
My respects, from Madrid, Spain. Loving whole music around the world.
Brought back great memories. Our culture at our best. They were great ambasadors.
First time I heard Exuma was at a club called D'Scene around 1970. In Sayreville, N.J. Loved him ever since.
Setlist:
1. "Brown Girl (Reincarnation)" 00:00
2. "Attica (Snake)" 02:48
3. "Pay Me What You Owe Me (Reincarnation)" 08:00
4. "Empty Barrels (Reincarnation)" 11:58
5. "Exuma, the Obeah Man (Exuma)" 16:28
I love you
This rips!! ❤❤❤
Incredible. Just incredible.
