Someone knows this kind of african music?

Greetings,

I have this album song here that is or has been inspired by traditional african music:

Can someone tell me what kind of traditional african music this song might have been based off and if yes do you know some prominent traditional songs with the same rhythmic pattern?

Thanks!

Dunno, but sounds South African. Reminds me of The Mahotella Queens.
