Willie Colón - Tiempo pa Matar
in Funk, SalsaNever heard any Willie Colon but bought this today and gotta say this track is growing on me. Starts off with the stankiest licks, thoughts of Bobby Valentin's Coco Seco come to mind but slowly it becomes clear, a descending fog, you go to strut but you can't help but notice something over your shoulder. All light escapes but for a single street light as you turn back, strings stab out of the darkness, thought cycles consist of recounting steps, descending into the fire, no matter what you do it renders futile. Like Jose Mourinho, you could choose to put the icing on the cake here, and icing's great. But I work for the cake. Off the dark street you stumble, you'd have noticed the ol' western swinging door but for the blinding light behind it, THE GLAAAAAAAAAARRREEE!!! Senses reset as if jumping through dimensions, fumes rise to your head, straight into the sweet, juicy, liquid gold. Joy, pure undulated joy, 'Hey Memin, killing time is not the same as time to kill. Don't be rough'....you prick. And there we have it, the perfect Bilí.
