Drawing on his childhood memories of Junkanoo festivals, Exuma—born Macfarlane Gregory Anthony Mackey—blends mystical storytelling with hypnotic rhythms, especially on tracks like \"The Obeah Man\" and \"Junkanoo.\" The cover art, painted by Exuma himself, shows a startled self-portrait that hints at the album’s unique and experimental edge, setting it apart visually as well as sonically. This 1970 Mercury pressing presents the album in its original vinyl form, perfect for those who appreciate the tangible connection to a record’s era. The vinyl shows signs of its age with noticeable surface noise and wear, so expect a listening experience that reflects its \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shoptheden.com\/blogs\/news\/how-we-grade-vinyl-records-at-the-den\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eVG-\u003c\/a\u003e condition.

With arrangements and conducting by Larry Wilcox alongside Exuma’s own direction, the album weaves acoustic small-group textures with touches like cowbell and harp from Achmed Ben Mansel and Baron Samedi, adding unique layers to tracks such as “Obeah Man Come Back” and the title piece, “Exuma’s Reincarnation.” The artwork by Frank Gauna and Glen Christensen visually complements the album’s otherworldly vibe, making it a compelling entry in Exuma’s catalog. This 1972 Kama Sutra vinyl pressing offers a focused listening experience for those drawn to psychedelic and folk-tinged reggae sounds.
