Well, I will indeed admit that "acappella instrumental" is an oxymoron,
but the piece of music in question contains no lyrics and no other
instruments than human voice -- in a sense it it using human voice as
the instruments to create an instrumental piece of music, so I think
that "acappella instrumental" is a wonderfully descriptive term.  What
would you rather call it?
