Piano Cover of "Moya Waka Eletsa Wena"

"Moya Waka Eletsa Wena" by Shinkie featuring Omega Khunou is Sesotho worship. The title means "my spirit longs for You." Mid-tempo (99 BPM), intimate, sits under the vocal all night.

1. The key: A♭ major

A♭ major. Scale: A♭, B♭m, Cm, D♭, E♭, Fm, Gdim.

2. The chord shape

Verse: 1 to 5/7 to 6m to 4, walking bass A♭ to G to F to D♭. Chorus: 4 to 1 to 5 to 6m to 4 to 1. The Shinkie recording shows the vocal blend.

3. The Sunday-ready play

• Right hand: maj7 voicings. A♭ as A♭maj7 (A♭, C, E♭, G).
• Left hand: walking bass on the verse, whole notes on the chorus.
• One move to add: the 5/7 (E♭/G) walking bass in the verse. Without it the song loses shape.

4. When the leader calls a different key

Worship duets adjust for the lead. Numbers hold. Use Gig Mode.
