Exuma's "Dambala" is a mesmerizing incantation, invoking the primal forces of creation and destruction. With each haunting refrain of "Oh Dambala, come Dambala," we are beckoned into a world of deep spiritual reverence, where the boundaries between the divine and the profane blur.

The song is steeped in the potent imagery of Vodou, with Dambala being one of the most revered spirits, often depicted as a serpent deity overseeing creation, balance, and purity. The song's lyrics, with references to the wings of a three-toed frog and weeds from the ocean's depths, paint an ethereal tapestry, suggesting a connection to ancient rituals and nature's enigmatic wonders.

The dichotomy of "On the seventh day, God will appear" and "On the seventh night, Satan will be there" speaks to the balance of light and dark, of good and evil, acknowledging that both forces are ever-present and intertwined in the human experience. This balance is further emphasized by Dambala's power to "send demons" and "send angels," indicating the deity's overarching dominion over both chaos and order.

But perhaps the most chilling verse is the searing indictment of slavers, a stark reminder of the profound pain and historical trauma of the African diaspora. Exuma's words evoke a visceral reckoning, a spiritual comeuppance for those who've perpetuated cruelty and oppression.

"Dambala" isn't just a song; it's an evocative ritual, a bridge between the seen and the unseen, and a profound exploration of cosmic balance, justice, and retribution. Through Exuma's haunting voice, we are offered a glimpse into the spiritual tapestry of the Caribbean, a place where past atrocities echo alongside prayers for healing and transcendence.

I think Joni Mitchell is like The Byrds, extremely popular for a flash in the pan of the 60's but no one gives a shit about her anymore

>>127951685
Joplin, Morrison, Hendrix, Lennon, etc all killed off why talentless hacks like her will live to be 112 years old annoying everyone with their tripe.
