I think it’s Afro-Asiatic, perhaps Ethiopic or Omotic. There are definitely some pharyngeal sounds and also some vaguely familiar suffixes. Can’t say more than that at the moment …
My first impression was an indigenous language in the US because his accent sounds a little American on the “ar” sounds (and because of the flute). If the word I think I keep hearing is the name of the dialect, it might be მორონგო in California.

I was on the wrong track and Joe A is right: it’s セرَّ노, spoken in southern California!
The mystery language is Serrano (Maarrênga’twich), an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in southern California in the USA.
