Exuma, born Tony McKay on February 18, 1942, in Cat Island, Bahamas, was a prominent Bahamian artist known as the Obeah Man. He grew up on Canaan Lane, off Shirley Street, in Nassau. Exuma drew inspiration from traditional Bahamian folk songs, the infectious beat of Junkanoo, ring play, myths, and linguistic idioms. Through his musical recordings, performances, and paintings, he promoted Bahamian heritage and significantly extended the reach of Bahamian music worldwide, more than any other contemporary Bahamian recording artist. He passed away on January 25, 1997.
