向伟大的70年代致敬！
夜里睡不着，翻出一堆cd挨着听，然后就听到了这一张。无限感慨啊，我是09年第一次听到这张专辑，在乐摇下的，那会儿乐摇音乐社区还很火，每天都有大量专辑被分享，然而不久就被关闭了。时过境迁，现在的乐摇对我而言基本变成一个cd团购平台。

EXUMA是来自西印度群岛的巴哈马的一只乐队，EXUMA同时是个巴哈马的一个地名：埃克苏马，据说电影加勒比海海盗2就是在此拍摄。这张专辑挺根源的，从中可以听出大量非洲，西印度群岛的传统元素，carnival ，junkanoo，calypso（西印度群岛居民临时编唱的一种，即兴小调)，aballad，维基用了unclassifiable这个词来总结EXUMA的音乐类型，我喜欢把它归到prog-folk/rock的范畴，优美流畅的旋律，丰富的人声和华丽的打击配乐，野人围着篝火在舞蹈，女巫在进行祭祀礼仪，猎人在深夜外出狩猎，深夜听来完全可以让人达到深度麻醉的状态。我认为的好音乐一定是可以致幻的，要么可以勾起尘封的记忆，要么可以打开无尽的想象，一定不是在现在，而是在别处。
在伟大的70年代，前卫迷幻风潮在世界范围内产生了共振，可贵的是无论是西海岸的psychedelic，英格兰意大利的prog，还是德式，日式，都充分展现了地域民族的音乐精华，70年代实乃是一场想象力没有边界的音乐Party，连这么一个西印度群岛的小岛都有如此优秀的作品留世，而我们这个号称5000年历史的大国那会正在忙活着干革命呢，虽然干的也是文化，但这实在是一片贫瘠的土地。
把歌词顺手贴上
1《Exuma, The Obeah Man》
I came down on a lightning bolt,
nine months in my Mama's belly
When I was born the midwife
screamed and shout
I had fire and brimstone
coming out of my mouth
I'm Exuma, I'm The Obeah Man
Exuma was my name when I lived in the stars
Exuma was a planet that once lit Mars,
I've got the voice of many in my throat
The teeth of a frog and the tail of a goat
I'm Exuma, I'm The Obeah Man
When I've got my big hat on my head
You know that I can raise the dead
When I got my stick in my hand
You know that I am The Obeah Man
If you got a woman and she ain't happy
Come see me for camalame
Take that camalame and you make her some tea
and she will love you all the time
And when she got you running
like a train on a track
take some flour and you make some pap
that will give you strength in your back
I'm Exuma, I'm The Obeah Man
I've sailed with Charon, day and night
I've walked with Hougaman, Hector Hippolite
Obeah, Obeah, Obeah, Obeah's in me
I drank the water from the firery sea
I'm Exuma, I'm The Obeah Man
Tony McKay was my given name
given on Cat island when my mother felt the pain.
Creatures of the Earth, Space, Sea, and Land,
I'm Exuma, I'm The Obeah Man
I'm Exuma, I'm The Obeah Man
2《dambala》
Oh Dambala come Dambala
Oh Dambala come Dambala
Sing of the wings of a three toed frog
Eat weeds from the deepest part of sea
Bring the trumpet from Heaven
and the fire from Hell
Then nobody can break the spell
Oh Dambala come Dambala
Oh Dambala come Dambala
On the seventh day God will appear
On the seventh night satan will be there
On the seventh day God will appear
On the seventh night satan will be there
Oh Dambala,come Dambala
Oh Dambala,come Dambala
You slavers will know what it's like to be a slave
A Slave to your hearts,a slave to your head
A slave to your souls,a slave to your graves
You won't go to Heaven
You won't go to Hell
You'll remain in your graves
With the stench and the smell
Oh Dambala come Dambala
Oh Dambala come Dambala
I'll melt down your walls
I'll melt your steel guns
I'll make you dumb
I'll make you blind
Dambala send demons
Dambala send angels
Dambala send fire
Dambala send water
Oh Dambala come Dambala
Oh Dambala come Dambala
3《Mama Loi, Papa Loi》
The sun is shining in the night
Zombies walking in the broad day light
Zombie he done lost his soul
Zombie he don't ever get old
Lord of darkness king of light
Come, come here on this stormy night
There is no star in the sky
I see fire in the dead man's eye
Touch me, touch me, fix my hand
Let me see what's in the sand
Man is boy, and boy is man
There ain't no boss there ain't no man
I'll spit my spit in your spit
Then let seven snakes come up from the pit
I'll stand under this mango tree
till you come, come to me
A spider crawled across my face
Spreading its web on the human race
Jingo, Jingo he ain't dead
He can see from the back of his head
They tied ten onions 'round my naval string
Then they cut it and they baked it and made it into a ring
Come on Shango, Satan come to me
Let me speak what I can't see
Chorus
Mama Loi, Papa Loi
I see fire in the dead man's eye
4《Junkanoo》
5《Seance In The Sixth Fret》
6《You Don't Know What's Going》
You don't know what's going on
You don't know what's going on
Can't make the world go 'round
Here today, tomorrow your gone
You don't know what's going on
When the holy cow's milking
And the greenbacks are rolling
You are the king and queen pin
But when the greenbacks turn brown
And you fall down
Whatcha gonna do, watcha gonna do
Come go with me
Come take my hand
I'm going home
Come go with me
You can't change the night into day
You can't take the milk from the milky way
You can't take the sun from the sky
And you can't put the light in Ray Charles eye
7《The Vision》
Last night I had a vision
I saw fire in the sky
And last night. O I had a vision
I saw men, that once had died
There were seven angels
You know what they said, that my time had come
Yes, those seven angels
You know they said, that the good people had won
The first angel, he looked at me and he said to me
Yes, he said, that he put the fire in the sky
The second angel, he started to cry,
And he said that all the evil men must die
The third angel, said that he bought a plague
That for three months would torment man
And he said that man would pray to die
But that death would be
Just out of the reach of his hand
And the fourth angel, he had a great big urn
And when he poured all the waters of the earth turned to blood
And he said, that man didn't learn,
man didn't learn from the great big flood
The fifth and six angel
said they'd come to help man
But man being the fool he is
turned his back and he ran
The seventh angel he raised his hand
And not a word, not a word did he say
And all the dead walking throughout the land
Whispering, Whispering, it was judgment day
