Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

When I was a youngster in Kansas I used to listen to short-wave radio, so these all sound to me like the languages of Quito, Ecuador, Yuzhnaya Amerika. (See Wikipedia s.v. “HCJB”.) As for where they’re spoken, I’d say mainly in church. But I can’t place this one at all. Something from the Sahel?
Maybe I’m making these quizzes too hard. The answer is Gamo-Gofa-Dawro, an Omotic language spoken in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People’s Region of Ethiopia.
I’ve liked the last few ones, where I’ve had no idea of even the general family they belong to.
Most of the time I have no idea what those languages are, but I like listening to them and then finding out from you what it was (sometimes I wish the recording was a bit longer).

The recording comes from the GRN.
