What is "dala"

Dala is a Canadian acoustic- folk two-piece musical group, made up by Sheila Carabine and Amanda Walther, both of Scarborough, Ontario.

Dala is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Sudan, and played especially by the Baggara tribes. The game is also called Herding the Cows (or Herding the Bulls). It is an alignment game with captures similar to that of the game Dara. Players first drop their pieces onto the board, and then move them (herding the cows) orthogonally in an attempt to form 3 in-a-rows which allows a player to capture any of their opponent's piece on the board.
