Our Philosophy about Karaoke
Music has and will always be part of everyone's lives. Whether it is classical, rap, hip-hop, reggae, pop, rock, you will never meet anyone who has never sung, or hummed a song. Everyone can sing love songs, sad songs, rock songs, and popular songs. Our philosophy comes from this revelation.
Press Release
Your Karaoke Specialist
Phong Le Karaoke (95 Westbank Expressway, Gretna, 366-5758) is a retailer of Karaoke music and equipment for over 25 years. Specializing in professional Karaoke setups for business and home entertainment systems, this Westbank family is supplying Louisianaians and Mississipians. “We have a philosophy about karaoke. We believe that by bringing karaoke home to your family, you’re not only creating a fun and lively atmosphere but you’re also bridging the gap between the young and old. You can enjoy today’s music with your kids and your kids will be able to like the music you grew up to. The idea of bringing your family closer together makes karaoke a big hit,” says Phong Le, owner. “Karaoke is also a great learning tool. We have customers teaching their children learn to read by karaoke. Put in their favorite song and have them follow the lyrics on the TV. It’s that easy.” Karaoke originated in Japan and made its way to the United States in the 1980s. Karaoke is an abbreviation of Japanese words: "kara" comes from "karappo" meaning empty, and "oke" is the abbreviation of "okesutura," or orchestra. Karaoke is now in a form of compact disc aptly named CD Graphics or CD+Gs. The graphics are the lyrics that appear on the TV screen. Most CD+Gs are instrumental versions of popular songs with background vocals during the chorus of the song. Guide vocals are offered for certain songs to help singers learn the song.
“Service is a big priority in our store. If our customers are not happy, we’re not happy. We will go to lengths to provide the utmost service and courtesy. We take pride in our service.” Along with the extensive karaoke brands and CD+Gs, Phong Le Karaoke retails karaoke, players, wireless microphones, amplifiers, mixers, speakers, professional Pioneer DJ equipment and all sorts of devices.
