It should be very easy there if you've got a bit of money, just go to one of the local bands and a guitarist should put you in the right direction, African guitar guitar style is literally the same, it's picking style.
The video you've posted above will not help much as you are a beginner, it's advanced level, that is soloing however when we learn guitar we normally start by learning rhythm then progress further so here are some starters for you but first learn how to identify and learn some basic chords.

...Btw Sly and Shamala how far are you with your lessons, like in can you share some of your work. I get bored easy so am taking the unothordox route by trying to play along my fav licks/tunes and then sharing the clips with vets and anybody willing to critique...

I will find time to record myself using my computer webcam but as for progress, am still playing rhythm and haven't progressed to soloing yet.

Attached is an audio recording of me learning Ferre's song in 2009,i will post a video soon playing the same and others I can now play comfortably.

Going straight to soloing is a bit complicated, the basics will do you good.
