Koum Tara Claims Top Position on Transglobal World Music Chart for December 2023

The album Baraaim El-Louz by Koum Tara has landed at #1 on the Transglobal World Music Chart for the month of December 2023.

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.
