Parowmania took Emnotweni by storm
This man's stage energy does something to you. Before you know it, you find yourself jumping to the beat.
Parowmania is alive and kicking.
If you were at his Emnotweni Arena performance on Saturday night, you’ll agree.
Jack Parow has become a phenomenon. When he took to the stage, a rock-inspired rap marathon ensued. His fans couldn’t stay in their seats and made their way to his feet seconds after the show had started. From there, they watched in awe as he delivered the most personal Parow show many local fans had ever seen.
“The show was intimate and awesome. Best one I’ve been been to, and I’ve attended many of his performances,” said Alf Breytenbach. Like Alf, Parow fans tend to watch his shows time and time again. On Saturday night he performed with an energy that infused the crowd. The jumping, dancing, rapping fans could not get enough of his hits.
He impressed with “Eksie ou”, “Hos Tokolosh” and “Fee Fi Fo Fum”. His more explicit hits also went down well with the crowd – a group of diehard fans. His version of David Kramer’s “Biscuits and Biltong” brought a new sound to this hit. Believe it or not, the crowd was headbanging to that as well.

The crowd went wild. Afterwards, he met his fans personally in the foyer and posed with them for fun photos. “Hos Tokolosh, be safe masekend. Your show was Mbombela’s beat this weekend,” remarked Richard Austin.
The fans, the band and the man were all in:
