Dimitri & The Scarecrow

Bio

Dimitri & The Scarecrow is musical concept developed by Zimbabwean (Ugandan based) Dimitri D. Kwenda. Conceptually the Scarecrow as a metaphor based on the agrarian system of Zimbabwe as a utility to summarize the people in juxtaposition between governance and survival. Employing poetry, satire and humorist styles, Dimitri addresses a kaleidoscope of matters as an observer, victim, idealist, realist, critic & the privileged. Alternative Hip-Hop is the main genre utilized as the medium of expression for Dimitri & The Scarecrow.

Having embarked on his musical journey on the now closed hub of budding talent, The Book Cafe in Zimbabwe, Dimitri & The Scarecrow became synonymous with explosive protest art on the slam poetry, the rock/metal and Hip-Hop scenes. This earned him podium finishes in poetry scenes and a stage appearances at Shoko Festival, Grahamstown Counter Festival, Harare International Festival of the Arts (HIFA) intimate venues in Dublin, Kampala, Nairobi, Zanzibar & Cape Town. This has lead to a steady following which has grown steadily over the years since the inception of the concept in 2012.
