To sing a song has been deeply related to human life from ancient

put her child to sleep. Children have a special liking for songs.
Grownups enjoy singing songs to babies and they enjoy listening to
them.
In recent years, there has been a boom in ‘karaoke’. Karaoke includes
CD players with voice mixing facilities and are used to provide musical
accompaniment for solos. The Japanese word ‘kara’ of kara-oke means
empty, while the "oke" is a Japanese abbreviation of the English word,
‘orchestra.’ These two words coming together mean an orchestra
without a vocalist. Karaoke systems are widespread in many countries
nowadays. To relish karaoke is not difficult at all. All you have to do is
buy a karaoke CD and practice singing songs. Believe me! You will be
a singer one day!
