Nevertheless, the tango (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'nevertheless' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'tango' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'tango' could be 't' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ye' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
