Early Karaoke Machine

Almost since recording begin, there have been musical tracks without the vocals. In the early years these were used by the original artists themselves. No one knows for sure who invented the first karaoke machine. Some have claimed that Daisuke Inoue invented the karaoke machine in Kobe, Japan in 1971. It quickly became popular and spread to other parks of Asia in the 1980s and then to other parts of the world.

Now Karaoke machines are household items. Smaller and less expensive, it is easy to host your own karaoke party!
