SANGJARU

SANGJARU‘s goal is to create the new music in the frame of Korean traditional music.

SANGJARU has been agonizing over the forms and categories of traditional and traditional music ever since its foundation in 2014. Over time, however, the extremely subjective nature of the word “tradition” continued to reveal only vague boundaries, which even tually led to confusion, repeating the unrighteous agony. In order to solve this problem, SANGJARU was on the pilgrimage path to Santiago de Compostela(Spain), which is called the path of enlightenment, and creates new music based on the agony of thinking on the road and creates a “Camino de SANGJARU” and 1st full-length ‘Taryeong’

"the fusion of Korean traditional music and

new elements from all over the world."

create and play new music based on Korean traditional music.

'Korean Gipsy SANGJARU' means 'the sack in the box' with a
combination of box and sack. A box has a fixed character whose form does not change no matter what you put in it, but a sack has a fluid character whose form
changes according to what you put in it. The 'SANGJARU' refers to the artistic value of a 'sack in the box', or new creative elements, by substituting them as a traditional and creative element, but not to disrupt the framework of tradition.

'Korean Gipsy' expresses an artistic attitude that seeks to resemble the way gypsies used to create new cultural arts by recreating their own colors, rather than simply copying certain cultural arts in the wandering and experiencing areas.
