Odongo ukulele

Odongo

• Am

This is my interpretation of "Odongo", a song by the Kenya-based artist, Winyo.
The original version is finger-picked and it works fine if you just stumm it, but it loses that african groove.
I'll try to tab the picking pattern in a future post.
Enjoy!

No capo in the album version.
