I did some searching and I think this is a bwaba balafon...

Hey somebody 617 what country in Africa is this? Africa is a big place. And your right it's a balaphon but I've never seen one curved like that

[wfranklin]

ummm, that's not a witch doctor at all. And that instrument is a variant on a type of instrument found all over Africa, Europe, and Asia. It is the family of instruments that pianos, vibraphones, xylophones, etc come from.

The guy playing the thing is a respected "Witch DR" in his village.

[wfranklin]

Not the proper terminology. That may be his job, but its not the proper title.

[neut73]

it looks like a balathon

[somebody617]

The dude beating on the thing was an "animist priest" aka witch dr. Don't believe me go there and ask him for yourself
