My my, that sounds rather generic. Could be anything!
I do hear a lot of uvular plosives /q/ and glottal stops. I would probably guess something from North Africa.
Or not. Seems many if not most North African languages don’t have uvular consonants. Central Asian?
Sounds like a Mayan language to me.

It’s Hopi. (blah blah blah) [I wrote “It’s Hopi” and the device told me that my comment was a bit too short and that I should try again. Thus the filler.]
The answer is Hopi (Hopilàvayi), an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in parts of Arizona in the USA.
