SING ALONG KARAOKE


A karaoke is a type of entertainment in which people sing popular songs while recorded music is played.

The word karaoke comes from the Japanese words ‘kara’ meaning ’empty’ and ‘oke’ meaning ‘orchestra’. It first became popular in English in 1979.


Karaoke is a Japanese word that refers to a performance in which a person sings along with recorded music. It’s a popular form of entertainment at restaurants and clubs: amateur singers choose their favourite well-known song to sing and then perform it for the crowd.

Most karaoke performances include some special equipment, including a microphone, a large book of songs to choose from, instrumental recordings of these popular songs and a screen or projector displaying the song lyrics. The karaoke performer uses the screen to read the words to the song while the recorded track plays.
