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

Something African?
I would agree, sounds from West Africa Ghana or Nigeria
I think this is Yoruba language spoken in Nigeria.
I think I heard an cluster, (fl), which raises some questions as to most Niger-Congo languages.
Is it Moré? From Burkina Faso!
For something completely out of left field, I’ll says that it sounds Austronesian and is probably Atayal, spoken in Taiwan.
The answer is Mandinka (Mandingo / لغة مندنكا), a Mande language spoken in Mali, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea-Bissau and Chad.
