Good job! Thailand was the correct answer. The style was not quite revealing, but guitar songs are quite popular all over Southeast Asia while playing the guitar is a popular hobby there. Most of you may have guessed it from the language which sounded somehow Asian. Thai language is
tonal (=having tones that change the meanings of a word) and just like Chinese is more centred on vowels,
diphthongs (=double vowels) and
triphthongs (=triple vowels). Thailand is also a
forward-thinking (=preparing for the future) nation in love with modernity, hence the use of English in the song.
Haiti was wrong. It’s a French-speaking country in the Caribbean. While the style could fit the Caribbean, the language does not.
Albania was wrong. The style of the song seems unlikely for Southeastern Europe. Albanian language is by the sound of it Eastern European but structurally quite
obscure (=mysterious, unclear) actually. It’s Indo-European but not related to any other Indo-European language.
Namibia was wrong. The country is located in Southern Africa and speaks mainly English. Even if the song was in some
tribal (=of a tribe, a traditional community) language it still sounds nothing like an African song. For that it is too romantic in a soft way, one might argue.
