Alla Bua means "another way", "another care", "another illness", "alternative medicine"

"Alla Bua" was an expression used by the elderly people of Southern Salento (in taverns of Alliste and surroundings) to accompany work or love songs. Word repeated incessantly, like a mantra, it was a kind of drone and then of support for the main voice. The etymological meaning seems to come from greek language (an ancient dialect still spoken in a zone of Salento called "Grecìa", limited in about ten villages and strangely far from Alliste).
