Karaoke is a type of interactive entertainment usually offered in clubs
and bars, where people sing along to recorded music using a microphone.
The music is an instrumental version of a well-known popular song.
The word "karaoke" actually comes from Japanese, and it's
made up of two parts: "kara," which means "empty," and "oke," which is
short for "orchestra." In other words, the karaoke meaning in Japanese
is "singing without music," and the word translates to "empty
orchestra."
