Do Wah Nanny is the third studio album by Bahamian folk musician Exuma. It was released in 1971, and was the first record by Exuma to be issued through Kama Sutra Records.
Reception
In a retrospective review, Stewart Mason of AllMusic wrote that Do Wah Nanny "moves away a bit from the voodoo imagery" of Ezuma's previous two albums, "instead going for a good-timey sound similar to the New Orleans gumbo of Dr. John." Mason concluded, "Exuma and his mostly percussive band wend their way through the eight mostly lengthy tracks with the mixture of smoldering passion and infectious joy that's at the heart of Bahamian music."Personnel
