Camila Rajchman Goldfarb (born 26 November 1994) is an Uruguayan singer, songwriter and television personality. She is best known for being the vocalist of the cumbia-pop band Rombai from 2014 to 2016.

Life and career

1994–2013: Early life and education

Camila Rajchman was born in Montevideo on November 26, 1994, into a Jewish family.[1] She is the youngest of four daughters of entrepreneur José Rachman and schoolteacher Gabriela Goldfarb.[2] She is also the granddaughter of Chil Rajchman, a Polish Holocaust survivor who settled in Uruguay after World War II.[3][4]

She completed her primary and secondary education at Woodlands School, a private school in the Carrasco neighborhood, and later pursued her high school studies at Liceo Integral.[5][6] After graduating, she enrolled at Universidad ORT Uruguay where she studied for a degree in communication and audiovisual technology.[2][7]

2014–2015: Breakthrough with Rombai

While pursuing her university studies in late 2014, she formed the cumbia pop band Rombai with Fer Vázquez and some fellow students.[8] Their debut single, “Locuras contigo,” quickly became a summer hit, amassing millions of views on YouTube and playing a key role in bringing the cumbia pop style into the mainstream of the Río de la Plata region.[9][10]

Throughout 2015, the group released several chart-topping singles, toured across various Latin American countries, and appeared on numerous television programs and events, further boosting their popularity.[11] They also performed joint concerts and had songs featuring fellow Uruguayan band Márama.[12][13] In January 2016 the band released their first album De Fiesta.[14]

In March 2016, Rajchman announced her departure from Rombai, and on April 29 of that year, she performed for the last time with the group at Luna Park in Buenos Aires.[15] She was later replaced as vocalist by Argentine singer Emilia Mernes.[16] In June 2016, months after her departure from the band, Marama - Rombai - El viaje was released, a tour film showcasing the joint tour of both bands.[17]

2016–2022: Departure from Rombai and television career

After her departure from Rombai in March 2016, she began a career in television. From May to August of that year, she served as a panelist on the Argentine reality television show Gran Hermano.[18] Between January and March 2017, during the austral summer season, she appeared as a panelist on the Uruguayan morning show Desayunos informales, temporarily replacing Andy Vila.[19] In October 2017, she formally joined the program as an on-location reporter.[20] The following summer, she became a co-presenter of the travel program Súbete a mi moto in its summer edition, alongside Rafael Villanueva.[21]

In August 2018, she introduced her new musical group, Blonda, as its lead vocalist, releasing the debut single “Actitud”, followed by “Re-lléname a besos” in December of the same year.[22][23] At the 23rd Premios Iris, she won the award for Best Social Media Communicator and was nominated for Television Breakthrough of the Year.[24] In May 2021, she worked as the digital host of the culinary competition Fuego Sagrado during its first season.[25] In 2022, she presented behind-the-scenes content for the first season of ¿Quién es la máscara?, the Uruguayan version of The Masked Singer. That same year, she made her debut as a television host on the youth game show El Último Pasajero, alongside Jorge Echagüe.[26]

In July 2022, she announced her departure from Desayunos informales and, following the season finales of El Último Pasajero and ¿Quién es la máscara?, confirmed her withdrawal from television.[27] In November, she began hosting the program Weno que pasó on the streaming channel Aweno TV.[28]

2023–present

In November 2023, following a reconciliation after several years of estrangement from her former Rombai co-lead vocalist Fer Vázquez, they released a new single titled “Cumbia cheta”, named after the musical genre associated with the band.[29] On 3 January 2024, they released a second collaboration, “Hasta el Amanecer”.[30] In both tracks, she was featured under the name “Cami Raj”.[31]
