Question for Spanish Warriors

I've been listening to this song now for a couple of days and I have a few questions about it.
First, what is it about.
Second what language is it.
and finally what is that instrument the singer is playing?
It looks like a split piece of bamboo, but I'd like to know it's name so I can research making one.
Thanks in advance.

Oh yeah, here's the song.

  • The language is Catalan which is the native language of Catalonia or Catalunya in Spain.

    I don't speak it so I have no idea what they are saying. However the instrument doesn't look like anything native to that area.

    • Thanks Merlyn.
      I thought it might be Catalan from the research I did, but having never heard the language I wasn't sure.
      I couldn't find anything even remotely like the instrument he is playing, I like it though. I like obscure percussion instruments and that one seems to fit the bill
      I really like the song also, something about that melody.
