Do you know or can you guess the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

My impression is that it is an African language, perhaps one spoken in Uganda because I think I hear this name at 0:07/0:08. But I can’t (yet) tell if it is a Bantu language such as Kiswahili or Luganda or something else (e.g. Nilotic) …
My guess is a language (possibly a d Bantu one?) spoken in east Africa since I thought I heard the world “Uganda” . I also think it is a religious program (did I hear “Alleluia”?)
I meant to say “Hosanna” instead of “Alleluia”.
I’m still new to this, but here goes: I heard the syllable “wa” at the beginning of two words in sequence, apart from “Uganda”. Isn’t a prefixed “wa” part of a classification system in at least some Bantu languages?
I am not very sure but I think it may be Lango since it speaks of the Asamu clan and this is a Lango clan, from Uganda. It seems to be a Catholic clan.
Can’t guess it accurately… but I guess it’s a Bantu language…
The language is Dholuo / Luo, a Nilo-Saharan language spoken in parts of Kenya, Sudan and Tanzania.

The recording comes from YouTube:
I’m amazed by the smooth mid-sentence transition to English in the video, as if completely unnoticed!
It’s a new language to me, the way it sounds, probably from the African zone
