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

I’m going to guess something from Africa, but not a Bantu language.
Suppose it’s spoken in West Africa. Could it be Ewe?
I hear some tones, but the most prominent is a rising tone that seems to be sentence-terminal. THe pronunciation of Jesus implies French or Portuguese influence.
I’m thinking this language is spoken in a Francophone country of Sub-Saharan Africa… but doesn’t strike me as a Bantu language (but what do I know).
Wolof? Fulani? Sereer?
I was thinking it might be a Manding language, but now I’m leaning towards a Bantu language. How about Kele/Lokele?
The language is Baga (Barka), a Niger-Congo language spoken in parts of Guinea.
