It may be you have never been to a karaoke bar or tried karaoke at weddings or parties so you are probably asking yourself. What is Karaoke?
Karaoke originated in Japan when people began singing along with records and music tracks. They introduced machines that would show the words as the song played through so you no longer needed to know the words of a song to sing along with it.
As Karaoke became more popular a version of the song without the singing voice was made available as an instrumental backing track karaoke hosts to purchase and use at their karaoke singalong evenings.
Business boomed and the craze spread across the world and now you can go into karaoke bars in many countries around the world and experience the same fun evenings wherever you are in the world.
With the introduction of home computers and now the Internet there are more choices available for singing along to backing tracks. You can buy software to install on your computer which can play the music or you can visit online websites where you have a huge choice of songs to sing and you need have no fear of embarrassing yourself in public.
