Music review: Camino de Sangjaru, Assembly George Square Studios, Edinburgh

Curiouser and curiouser, as the extraordinary trio Korean Gypsy Sangjaru conflate Alice in Wonderland with a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela as expressions of their quest to combine traditional Korean and modern western music. There’s no doubting the musicianship and energy of percussionist Kwon HyoChang, Nom SeongHun on the zither-like gayageum and Cho SungYung on guitar. Things can get bemusing, though, between their endearingly cryptic introductions and a rudimentary animated video that jerkily charted their progress, either in pursuit of Alice’s white rabbit or along the Camino.
