Baraaim El-Louz (Odradek Records) is the second release by Koum Tara, a French-Algerian supergroup from Lyon. Baraaim El-Louz translates from Arabic as ‘The Buds of the Almond Tree’ and is an exciting mix of Algerian chaabi and jazz. The ensemble is led by exceptional jazz keyboardist and album producer, Karim Maurice.
Koum Tara as well as the album name Baraaim El-Louz both take their name from poems written by the 18th century Algerian poet, Mohamed Bendebbah. Koum Tara translates as ‘come and see’, while Baraaim El-Louz is a poem about fresh beginnings.

Who We Are
Hope JZR, founder of the site and also owner of the eponymous YouTube channel, has gathered around his project a team of volunteers from the national territory and the diaspora with profiles as diverse as they are varied, a circle of patriots that only holds, to you and your enthusiasm to expand. Indeed, we invite you, all compatriots with a positive and constructive mindset to join us, through your contributions, in this adventure of defense and construction of a new Algeria.
What We Do
We work continuously and scrupulously to provide the public with reliable, objective and eminently positive information. Faithful to the founder’s credo of “sowing hope”, our ambition is to create an enthusiastic dynamic (without pouring into euphoria), federating competencies in the service of their homeland. Our publications, as you will notice, will always highlight positive performances and achievements in different fields, and also reflect our critics whenever we see problems affecting the lives of our fellow citizens, providing adequate solutions or calling for our elites to help solve them.
Our Mission
Our unique goal is to make this platform the first in Algeria to be devoted exclusively to positive information that sows hope among our youth and entice them to participate in the development of our country.
The building of this new Algeria of which we dream and to which we aspire will be a collective work of all citizens jealous of the greatness of their nation and its influence.
It will be the guarantor of the preservation of its independence and sovereignty and will honor the legacy and sacrifice of our valiant Chouhadas.
