Doongalik Studios Celebrates Youngie & Exuma!

August 4th marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of the internationally celebrated guitarist Joseph Spence and the month also marked the 40th anniversary of the world release of Tony McKay’s electrifying album “Exuma the Obeah Man.”

These artists are two of The Bahamas’ most recognizable cultural icons and their artistic genius will be celebrated during October in an exciting Exhibition of original paintings by Tony McKay from private collections along with a wide variety of memorabilia, photographs and articles on both artists as well as selections from their musical repertoire.

The Exhibition, which is being presented by Doongalik Studios and Island FM Radio Station with the assistance of The National Endowment of the Arts, is the first ever of its kind mounted in the country and will be an official event of the 2010 CariFringe Festival taking place here in Nassau from October 1-11.



The Exhibition will be open to the public from October 1 until Wednesday, October 27 and will close with a musical tribute to both artists—stay tuned for more information in our October Newsletter!
