I have to admit I’ve sat on this song for a few days so that I can digest it completely. JP or better known as Indiginas is a Cali native who has been involved with some heavy hitters from Kenya to the US. However its interesting when I think about his journey as an artists. This is purely one classic example of an artist who has been committed to stay true to his roots, its all about consistency – and Indiginas is one person I know still riding the Kapuka beat high.
This track production is sick (tight), you can almost feel like Ogopa is somewhere in the US churning out beats. This is a happy go lucky track, a feel good vibe for the DISCO. I however don’t like the title name of the track – PARARARERA unless Sheng imenipita I am not sure what PARARARERA means. But maybe that will catch on with time. For what its worth – with or without that hook, the “Nina leta, nina wapa, nina sema, skiza ngoma, ina bambaaa, pewa hewa” makes a good enough jingle to sell the TUNE – you almost forget the Pararera…
Kenyan American TUNES are on the come up people I keep saying it – I think I will compile a top ten Kenyan American artists list and put their songs up for voting. I also think I will compile a list of all the Kenyan-American producers coz its hightime we start show casing some of these peoples work. (even the stuff that doesnt make it to the streets).

Indiginas has definitely changed since “Ujuzi” days. PARARERA u ask, the last time i remember it’s meaning was the Horns za Basi za kwenda Ocha LOL. They had a different sound compared to the regular cars. Not sure how that relates to the song but the meaning could’ve changed
Roddy pararera means “talking too much” it’s like saying so and so talks pararera mob bila plan.
