Ide Were Were - (Trad. Yoruba) - Melody and Chords on Charango (chords based on Deva Premal version)

Traditional Yoruba song dedicated to the goddess Oxum, who opens our hearts to give and receive love, sensuality and sweetness. Hence on charango, that much sweeter!

In key of F#m.

Note : The tablature here of the melody is single note and playable, good for beginner students.

The chords (in key of F#m) may be a bit more challenging. FYI.

There are many, many version of this ancient Yoruba chant, this one is based on the chord progression in the version by Deva Premal.

Her version is in the key of Gminor, so if you want to play along with her version put your CAPO on 1st fret, and play the chords listed here.
