Tiempo Pa' Matar (Time To Kill) is Willie Colón's fourth studio album as a soloist. Published by Fania Records in 1983, the album has 8 tracks and was the most successful album Colón made for Fania Records, surpassing his previous albums Solo and Fantasmas. The lead single "Tiempo Pa' Matar" was a protest song by Colón against the Vietnam War.
Context[edit]
Tiempo Pa' Matar moved away from the rhythmic sound of Colón's previous albums Fantasmas and Corazón Guerrero. Stylistically Tiempo Pa' Matar fuses the genres of salsa and plena with a flute sound.[1]
