Pascal Wyse on Morrissey's 'cosmic tango vibe' - The Guardian

Excerpt:

It takes a special kind of insight to see that Morrissey, the famously morose former frontman of the Smiths, is at heart a tango musician. But Argentine composer and producer Gustavo Santaolalla, who is bringing his group Bajofondo Tango Club to Britain this week, asked Morrissey to sing on a track for the eight-piece band's forthcoming album. Morrissey, he says, has got that "cosmic tango vibe".

"He's doing a song I wrote a long time ago," says Santaolalla. "There is a cosmic tango spirit some artists have, even if they don't come from Buenos Aires. Tom Waits is a tango guy. Marianne Faithfull is kind of a tango girl. There's an immediacy and melancholy implicit in what they do. In certain cases, such as Nick Cave and Morrissey, there is a deep sadness related to the spirit of tango. Nelly Furtado, who is also on the record, could really be a kind of suburban girl in Buenos Aires."
