Karaoke Night! May 20, 2007

Sing your heart out or come see the “brave” ones! Professionals In The City has reserved the VIP room at Rosen Music Studio for our very own Karaoke Party. What a better way to ease the stress of the work week by singing your heart out!

Professionals in the City strives to bring together fellow professionals from diverse backgrounds by offering interesting and fun activities. Karaoke is a great way to get together. Singing is not mandatory but laughing and applauding is!

The word "karaoke" comes from the joining of two Japanese words: ' Kara'(empty) and 'Okie' (short for orchestra) Rather than including both vocals and music, karaoke music tracks included only the song's music. The vocal were provided by a live person, not a professional, who holding a microphone, sings while following the words displayed on a screen or in a lyric book.

While most people in Japan agree that karaoke started in Kobe, Japan, in the late 1970's , the actual origins of Karaoke music are obscure. One story claims that a snack bar owner, when a performer failed to appear, put on tapes of music and asked people in the restaurant if they wanted to sing. From such insignificant beginnings, Karaoke as an entertainment form has spread throughout Japan and the world. The term 'karaoke' has been accepted into common language usage.

Originally available only on karaoke cassette tapes, karaoke moved into CDs, finally incorporating videos and graphic images along with on-screen text prompts for those unsure of the song's words (lyrics). The fad spread into bars and restaurants. If the person singing wasn't very good, they were still applauded at the end of their performance. The supportive atmosphere for performers brought the people at the venue together in a new and communal way.

Our venue for tonights’s festivities is Los Angeles’ original Karaoke, Rosen Music Studio which boasts 33 private rooms and accommodates small and large groups.
