Zimbabwean dancehall star Winky D saluted the late Scara The Drummer as he accepted his Best African/Dancehall artist in the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA).
Scara was the drummer in Winky D’s Vigilance Band. He passed away suddenly, in September of 2020.
In a Facebook post celebrating the win, Winky D said:
Your votes have counted!!This accolade will not push me onto an ego trip, far from it: It makes me realize that l should always appreciate the simple details of life. There is no act without an audience, as such l am forever indebted to all the Gafas and Gafaresses who sacrifice their time and hard earned money to attend my shows. For me, it’s a compromised act without good instrumentalists, so allow me to take time to big up the Vigital band, and more importantly honor the late uniquely talented ‘Scara the Drummer’. Hearty appreciation also goes to those who believed in my music from day when l started preaching the ordeal of the ghetto youths when it was still unfashionable to talk reality. I will admit the love we exchanged during live shows, l also can’t wait for a return to normalcy
The awards were held in Jamaica on Sunday.
Another Zimbabwean, vaChikepe the Poet, won the Mutabaruka Best Spoken Word Entertainer award
