Here’s a recording in a mystery language.
Do you know, or can you guess, the language?
By the way, this is a short recording, and the only one I could find for this language.

It sounds to me to be an African language that is not Bantu, maybe something from west sub-Saharan Africa like Burkina Faso or that area.
To me it feels Northeast Indian or adjacent, like one of the small Chin languages or something.
So to me it sounds perhaps like southwest China, also very close to what Joe said. There were some retroflex plosives which make one think of India, but I also heard a singsong rhythm and a gutteral fricative, which also exists in Qiang, spoken in Sichuan. I think probably listening to Qiang made me think of this area, even though the language doesn\\\’t completely sound like Qiang. Could it be something related?
The mystery language is Caijia (Menni), a Sino-Tibetan language spoken in Guizhou province in southern China.
