Jannis Zotos Band - HYDRA — b-flat berlin

Jannis Zotos, who has been setting Greek poets to music for years, will be presenting his new album Hydra this evening. This time, the lyrics were provided by Greek Nobel Prize winner for literature Giorgos Seferis. Jannis will be accompanied by a top-class band consisting of the crème de la crème of the German-based scene. The programme will be rounded off with songs from his previous albums amour fou and Signals Phones tis Mnimis. Jannis Zotos is one of the defining figures of Berlin's cultural scene. Since the 1980s, when he studied classical guitar at the local music school, he has been one of the driving forces behind the capital's artistic scene. He has played in many groundbreaking projects, from the music of German singer-songwriters to rock and traditional Greek music. Particularly noteworthy is his collaboration with composer Mikis Theodorakis, whom Zotos accompanied on tours, wrote arrangements for his orchestra and with whom he shared a close musical and personal friendship.
