A tribe dedicated to the funky, rocky, soul band, Maktub!!
If you haven't heard this band, you're missing out! No matter what "type" of music you like, you'll love Maktub! Check out some of their songs out at www.maktub.com/




Fronted by Reggie Watts, whose expressive baritone is a pillar of the Seattle music scene and expressive, passionate voice undeniably resembles Al Green's at times, especially when it slides into a sweet, stirring falsetto. But he can also belt out a rich, muscular croon or frenzied yowl that invites comparisons to Chris Cornell and Sevendust's Lajon Witherspoon. The talented quintet Maktub (say it,"mock-tube") blaze a righteous road of "heavy soul" on Khronos, the follow-up to their 1999 debut Subtle Ways. Equal parts Philly soul and West Coast rock, Maktub's unique blend has won over legions of fans and garnered "best band" honors from the prestigious Seattle Weekly Reader's Poll. Arabic for "it is written" or "destiny", the word Maktub was derived from Paul Coelho's novel The Alchemist. The Seattle-based band has built a strong following in the last two years, having shared the stage with The Dave Matthews Band, India.Arie, Spearhead, Soulive, and Ben Harper.

Also, Reggie Watts sings through a modified 1950's telephone microphone, dubbed a Regg-a-phone.
