Karaoke was invented in 1971 in Japan, by Daisuke Inoue: a keyboardist and drummer who worked at a club in the city of Kobe. This wonderful entertainment quickly spread beyond the land of the rising sun, conquering the entire world!

In literal translation, the word means “empty orchestra”. And that's exactly it: you, a microphone and an audio device that provides the instrumental sound, the lyrics and your progress through the track.
In the past, it was necessary to have a specific machine for this purpose; Today, anyone with a smartphone can turn it into karaoke!
Warm up your vocal folds and get ready to overcome stage panic: it's time to call your friends to let your voice out! Don't worry about having perfect pitch: just don't scare the birds...
Smule
