Through their music, Maktub revives the classic sounds of Soul that was dominant forty years ago.
Hailing from Seattle, club-goers
and funksoulbrothas one and all
in the Pacific Northwest have been
getting their groove on when
Maktub comes to town. The band
recently feleased their new CD
entitled “Khronos.” It offers 11
irresistible tracks that regardless
ofyourlisteningenvironment, will
have you busting a move to the
soul-funk-R & B -rock-jazz-dub
quintet.
The lead track, “You C a n ’t
H ide," unm istakenly lets the lis­
tener know M aktub takes 7 0 ’s
soul and gievs it a 21s' century
m akeover - Al G reen for a new
'g e n e r a tio n . T h e ir ta k e on
Z ep p elin ’s “No Q uarter” is so
im pressive, funky and p syche­
delic, it should make Page and
R obert Plant turn the lim elight
over to M aktub on their next
outting.
The allure of M aktub’s music
is their sultry concoction of a wide
range of instruments from guitar.
bass, keys, and drums to sitar,
synths and inspired samples.
“Khronos” has something for
everyone and that’s who Maktub
is aiming to get dancing, be it in a
club or a driver’s seat.
