Idé Weré Weré - Charango Arrangement - (Trad. Yoruba)

Listen to it here : https://youtube.com/shorts/e2SFeDINk2Y

Traditional Yoruba song in praise of Oxum (Òṣun, Ochun)…

This is a CHARANGO ARRANGEMENT I made especially for connecting with this chant. The chords are based on the version by Bachan Kaur.

This is a TAB only arrangement. So you can accompany the singing of the song with this very pretty and playable arrangement, single note arpeggios.

The melody of the song/singing is NOT listed, nor written out in TAB.

Note: this song is Public Domain.

Ọ̀ṣun (Oxum) is sweetness. She is the fresh waters.

The color yellow. Gold. Prosperity. Love, self-worth, a mirror to reflect.

Honor her by singing to the water, bring honey.

An orixá (orisha), an archetype, a goddess, a revered nature spirit by the Yoruba people of

West Africa, praised in Ifá temples worldwide, in terreiros of Candomblé and Umbanda, and beyond.

Who are the Yoruba people? The Yorubas are one of the largest ethnic groups in Africa, mainly in southwestern Nigeria, but also in Benin, Togo, and diaspora communities in the Americas. Yoruba is a tonal language and is widely spoken and taught, but there are many dialects.
