Pronounced "Zeena's Boo-kaa-laa". A buqalah is a clay water pitcher used to tell the future, and the poem that is recited during the ritual. It's an ancient tradition held down by aunties, grandmas, and elders across Algeria today. The poems were recited in darija, an Algerian Arabic vernacular that remains a mystery to most foreigners. This has allowed my people to protect themselves against foreign occupation and colonization.
