A Brief History of Karaoke: From Humble Beginnings to Global Phenomenon
The word "karaoke" comes from the Japanese "kara," meaning "empty," and "oke," meaning "orchestra." The concept of karaoke emerged in the 1960s when Japanese bar owner Daisuke Inoue began providing backing tracks for his customers to sing along to. In 1971, Inoue developed the first karaoke machine, marking the beginning of a global phenomenon. Karaoke quickly spread to other Asian countries, particularly South Korea, where it became deeply ingrained in the culture. By the 1980s, karaoke had made its way to the United States and Europe, where it gained popularity in bars and clubs.
