The change in the name, more inclusive and with an immediate impact, mirrors the path Bajofondo’s music has followed. Often compared to Gotan Project, their music is a fusion of acoustic tango and electronic music, part of an evolving tango genre which is known as "Electrotango" or "Tango Fusion", which is greatly helping to bring tango back into the mainstream. The band, which prefers to refer itself as a "collective of composers, singers and artists", has a characteristic style that can be considered, besides the aforementioned mixture of tango and electronica, as an innovative form of DNB, house, chill out and trip-hop.

Their first record, Bajofondo Tango Club, was launched in 2004 with great success, with a second lone project from pianist/DJ/composer Luciano Supervielle greeted warmly by reviewers in late 2005. More recent music from their third album, Mar Dulce, is a fusion of Latin Alternative with contemporary music forms along the Río de la Plata at the border of Argentina and Uruguay.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bajofondo's "Fairly Right" may appear to be simple and repetitive at first glance, but upon deeper interpretation, there lies a sense of yearning for a day or a night where everything is just "fairly right." The use of the word "fairly" suggests that the singer understands that life can never be perfect, but they still dream of a time where things are balanced and satisfactory, without being too extreme in either direction.

The repetition of the phrase, "I dream" indicates that this dream remains out of reach, possibly even unattainable. The repetition of the words "right" and "fairly right" further emphasizes the importance of the dream, as though the singer is trying to convince themselves that they can achieve it if they just hang on. It could be interpreted as a symbol of hope in a seemingly chaotic world, where things can feel out of control and unbalanced.

Overall, the lyrics to "Fairly Right" convey a sense of longing for a more satisfactory and balanced existence while recognizing the unachievable nature of such a dream. The repetition of the few words drives home the message of the song, and the music - a fusion of electronic and traditional Latin American sounds - adds to the sense of longing and yearning.
