Jan Van and Fotis Siotas blend northern Greek tradition with modern experimentation, creating a post-traditional acoustic sound that seamlessly merges the primordial with the contemporary. Their music penetrates all the intermediate stages of this transition, resulting in a unique and captivating listening experience. In their two albums, Folks Nowadays (2023) and \u0392\u039a\u03a7\u03a3 (2024), the band has clearly defined their unique musical identity through their timeless artistic language.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey\"><img width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" src=\"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1280x853_Jan-Van-Fotis-Siotis-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan Van &amp; Fotis Siotas (\u0395\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac\u03b4\u03b1 \/ Jazz+) \u0393\u03b9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2 (\u0393\u03b9\u03b1\u03bd \u0392\u03b1\u03bd) \u0391\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03cc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c5\u03bb\u03bf\u03c2 (\u03c4\u03cd\u03bc\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1, \u03c0\u03bb\u03ae\u03ba\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1), \u03a6\u03ce\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03a3\u03b9\u03ce\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2 (\u03b2\u03b9\u03bf\u03bb\u03af, \u03b7\u03c7\u03b7\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac \u03b5\u03c6\u03ad) \u0394\u03cd\u03bf...","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full-width.php","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13611"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13611"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13611\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15237,"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13611\/revisions\/15237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/athensjazz.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13611"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
