My Actifit Report Card: April 18 2023 - jpop, kpop, now apop! Bahja...

First there was jpop from Japan then kpop from Korea. Now learn about apop which is Arabic Pop music! Back in 2011 I became online friends with a nice guy from Libya who was singing and playing guitar named Bahjat.

I wrote this about Bahjat in 2011...

Before I ever heard Taylor Swift's hit song "The Story Of Us" - I saw a cover of it on YouTube! A talented young man originally from Libya named Bahjat is a huge Taylor Swift fan and a musician himself. I had subscribed to his original channel last year so I could hear the interesting covers that he makes by singing and accompanying himself on guitar. I liked his cover of "The Story Of Us" even though I had never heard the original.

I wrote about him once before on here a year and a half ago. Since then he has blown up even more with his Hometown Smile video at over a Million views thanks to his fans who call themselves #bahjatroops!

Check out his YouTube and other social sites. I've read that he is the most streamed musician from Libya. He does weekly live videos lately that last hours and the live chat is packed. Check one out if you're interested. He speaks sometimes in Arabic and sometimes in English. I wish I could understand Arabic but I catch some of what he is saying. I know he loves his fans and says hello to mist of them. He really appreciates them all!
