As the BBC's Connected Africa Day focuses on Africa's new broadband connectivity, Network Africa sessions step in to provide you with the opportunity to really test the new technology by watching the great Zimbabwean singer and guitarist, Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi performing two tracks live in our Bush House studios.

This classic track, Neria is about the strength of women and how they should take their place and not feel inferior to men.

Sona Jobarteh hails from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players; her grandfather was the master Griot Amadu Bansang Jobarteh.
With a debut album and a film score already available, Sona is working on tracks for her second album release, Fasiya. She came to Bush House to perform a video session for BBC Network Africa. On this track Sona Jobarteh plays acoustic guitar and is accompanied by Femi Temowo on electric guitar and Robert Fordjour on percussion.

Sona Jobarteh hails from a long West African tradition of Griots and kora players; her grandfather was the master Griot Amadu Bansang Jobarteh.

Creating her own history, she has broken from the male-dominated kora tradition to become the family's first female virtuoso of the instrument.

Here Sona Jobarteh performs the traditional Malian song, Jarabi, accompanied by Femi Temowo on guitar and percussionist Robert Fordjour.

We all have a story to tell. You won't run to the light until you've truley spent some time in the dark. Many people fear telling their testimony or over look what God has done in their life. I'm choosing to share my deepest darkest hours for those who may be able to relate, for those who don't fully understand the power of salvation and because simply I was instructed to do so. All love, feel encouraged to comment your testimony below.🙏🏽 2 Timothy 1:8
