The █ █ collaborations between the band and the former █ █ Genesis guitarist and acclaimed solo artist began █ █ in 2007. Steve Hackett has appeared on the concert █ █ stage with Djabe performing both Genesis and █ █ Hackett solo material and Djabe compositions. This █ █ album is their first collaborative studio album. █ █ Djabe guitarist Attila Egerhazi explains: "When I █ █ came to my musician pals with the idea of this █ █ recording session I had no certain plans with the █ █ tapes. However, this was the exact way I always █ █ wanted to create my kind of a music, like we did █ █ with my band in the 80s. If I have to describe the █ █ atmosphere of these recordings, the first word █ █ that comes to my mind is tranquillity. All the █ █ notes and music were floating out from placidity". █ █ Steve Hackett adds: "It was great to play █ █ spontaneous music with such a talented group of █ █ musicians in the wild, rocky countryside of █ █ Sardinia, where we also felt the rich history █ █ surrounding us, echoing back to ancient times. █ █ Such a magical environment provided fertile ground █ █ for inspired ideas and a freedom of spirit". "Life █ █ is a Journey - The Sardinia Tapes" also includes a █ █ bonus DVD disc featuring a 5.1 Surround Sound mix █ █ of the album, along with bonus features "Sardo █ █ Moments", an informal video diary of the recording █ █ sessions shot by members of Djabe and five tracks █ █ recorded at Budapest Jazz Club in June 2017 █ █ including interpretations of the Genesis classic █ █ "Fly on a Windshield" and the Hackett tour de █ █ force "Please Don't Touch" among others. "Life is █ █ a Journey" is a splendid, serene musical █ █ experience, born out of the surroundings in which █ █ it was conceived. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1. Life is a Journey 9:40 ░ ░ 2. Golden Sand 7:04 ░ ░ 3.
