“Nothing the world holds could match the love waiting for me in Mexico City.” – Morrissey
San Francisco debut! An evening of songs by Morrissey — both from his solo career and his years with The Smiths — arranged and played by some of Mexico’s finest musicians, including Camilo Lara (Mexican Institute of Sound) and Sergio Mendoza (Calexico/Orkesta Mendoza). This all-star supergroup’s renditions add horns and accordions, and borrow from cumbias and rancheras to interpret a new Mexican spirit into the songs. The powerful imagery in Morrissey’s songs of love, loss and longing have always found an audience in Mexico and resonated with generations raised on rancheras and mariachis. Now the love is being returned.
"Mexrrissey is a much truer, more passionate invocation of the Moz spirit…even more powerful than the already-great original."
