Dimitri & The Scarecrow

Coming out of Harare by way of Kampala, blending multiple languages, cultures and politics, the melodic hip-hop artist known as Dimitri & the Scarecrow has an international voice for the African continent. Dimitri & The Scarecrow is a Zimbabwean Hip-Hop musical concept created by Dimitri D. Kwenda (Rapper, Songwriter, Producer, Poet and Singer) migrating through different cities in Africa. It is the juxtaposition of African Suburbia and it's Scarecrow - The faceless bodies which are the fodder of human iniquity. With an introspective vulnerability applied in the approach toward avarice, lust, pride, ignorance, flippancy and lies, Dimitri & The Scarecrow churns out perspectives base on observation and analysis. The concept born in 2008 is shadowed by years of exposure to the Hip-Hop Culture from the age of 10 thanks to a primary school friend. Dimitri & The Scarecrow has been active on the African Hip-Hop scene since 2012 having its beginning at the now closed Book Cafe in Harare. Dimitri & The Scarecrow has since released two 7 track EPs and a couple of singles with major performance credits/appearances at The Afrikan Hip-Hop Caravan, Grahams Town Counter Festival, Harare International Festival of The Arts, Shoko Festival and intimate venues in Nairobi, Zanzibar, Grahamstown, Harare, Dublin, Kampala & Cape Town.
