About usTHE BEST PORTUGUESE AND LATIN KARAOKE!
A LITTLE OF HISTORY....
Karaoke began to develop in Portugal in the first half of the 90's, mainly in the areas of Lisbon and Algarve.
We were in the time of the LASER DISC and at the beginning of the appearance of the format that turned out to be a standard in the karaoke area: the CDG format.
During this decade, some Portuguese karaoke discs appeared in Portugal in CDI format, the Philips project for a future multimedia standard that did not happen.
In 1999 the company JGC-Gestão e Serviços, Lda, which had already launched its website www.mundokaraoke.com decided to invest in the production and edition of karaoke in Portuguese under the KANTATU brand whose application for registration with INPI - Instituto de Propiedade Industrial entry on October 25, 1999, being registered with the number 340643. The format chosen was the CDG.
In January 2000, the first 4 albums of the KANTATU brand were released to the market with an impressive success. In 2000, JGC also released four more KANTATU karaoke records.
The first collection with 8 discs was MULTIPLEX type, ie each disc has tracks with only playback and the same songs with tracks with a guide voice on one of the stereo channels that can be removed by karaoke players with the MULTIPLEX function, often called L / R.
In 2001 JGC launches the series KANTATU PRO whose first disc was the KTT101. In this series the discs have 15 tracks with only the playback and without any guide voice.
In 2003, in order to complement the offer, JGC decided to launch the KANTATU LATIN series with karaoke themes in Spanish, French, Italian, and Romanian and some in English.
Being the CDG format considered a professional format, and only recognized in some karaoke reading devices, in 2004 JGC decided to launch its KANTATU DVD collection in order to penetrate private consumer markets. This format, much more universal than the CDG in terms of reading devices, came to be marketed in large stores, making the brand KANTATU even more known. However this KANTATU DVD collection contains exactly the same themes that had already been edited in CDG format.
In May 2011 the website www.karaoketosing.com is launched with the entire KANTATU collection available for download in three different formats: MP3 + G, MP4 and AVI / xVid, thus giving anyone the possibility of acquiring the licenses of use of only the songs that have interest.
In 2016 KARAOKETOSING.TV Streaming system is launched, which allows the subscription of packs of various songs for periods of time such as 48 hours, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. There is no download here but the possibility of accessing complete catalogs of KANTATU themes and other international brands.
Also in 2011, KANTATU launches its KANTATU DIGITAL series, in which karaoke themes are only edited in digital format (MP3 + G, MP4 and AVI / xVid).
In 2012, the KANTATU ORIGINAL series is launched, in which all karaoke content is produced based on the original playback of the artist, and thanks to the partnerships made with many and many artists of our Portuguese music scene, who saw in karaoke an excellent way to promote their songs.
Finally, to answer the most popular themes of Portuguese music, KANTATU launches in 2017 the series KANTATU POPULAR!
The KANTATU brand has achieved, since 2000, an enviable reputation and is considered by many to be the brand with THE BEST QUALITY PLAYBACKS IN THE KARAOKE MARKET.
Throughout all these years, KANTATU HAS BEEN PIONEER IN THE KARAOKE IN PORTUGAL! And we will continue to innovate!
