Exuma

Bahamian artist, also known as Tony McKay (the Obeah Man). Born in Cat Island 18 February 1942, died 25 January 1997. He grew up on Canaan Lane, off Shirley Street, Nassau, Bahamas. Drawing on the traditional Bahamian folk songs, the infectious beat of Junkanoo, ring play, myths and linguistic idioms, Exuma, through his musical recordings, performances and paintings, has promoted Bahamian heritage and extended Bahamian music throughout the world more so than any other contemporary Bahamian recording artist.
