“Noku Mana” on charango! (single-note MELODY and chords, transposed into A minor for easier fingering)

Song Info:

Based on the popular Andean huayno "Ojos Azules" music by Gilberto Rojas, as I’ve understood (also sometimes listed as written by Manuel Casazola Huancco)

"Noku Mana" lyrics based on a traditional Huni Kuin chant, adapted by Curawaka (@curawaka_official)

Transcription, adaptation for charango, and transposing into A minor by Monique Mizrahi (@charangowithmonique)

NOTE - This is only the single-note MELODY of the song, not the full charango transcription.

Does not include charango arpeggio intro.

Note: the charango arrangement on Curawaka recording (in D minor) is by Hector "Toro" Stafforini.

To play along with the Curawaka recording put your capo on the 5th fret or transpose this to Dminor. Note : the Curawaka recording is in the key of Dminor.
