What is Karaoke?
KARAOKE is a Japanese word composed of "kara" which means "empty" (from the japanese word Karappo) and "oke" which is a shortcut of "okesutora" which means orchestra. Instrumental tracks of a song, without the vocal dimension, are called "karaoke".
The origins of Karaoke begin at the end of the 50's in the USA with a TV show like "Sing Along with Mitch". The Mitch Miller orchestra made the public sing along to the rythm of a bouncing ball jumping over the lyrics on the TV screen.
