British-Sierra Leonean actor Idris Elba is set to host a music concert to celebrate Africa Day.

 The event will feature top African artists including Tanzania’s Zuchu and South Africa’s Elaine.

YouTube says the concert will give an opportunity to Africa’s “next wave of artists”.

It has been organised by MTV Base and YouTube will stream live at 17:00 GMT.

Veteran artists including Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Angelique Kidjo and Fally Ipupa will make appearances.
