Sangjaru will return to North America in 2026 with a Lunar New Year celebration tour marking the Year of the Fire Horse. The Korean group will bring its folk fusion sound back to U.S. stages as part of the run.
The band is known for mixing Korean traditional music with gypsy swing, funk, rock, and improvisation. Its name, drawn from words meaning “box” and “sack,” highlights the project’s mix of tight structure and freer experimentation, a contrast that drives Sangjaru’s energetic live performances.
