Life and career

[edit]

1994–2014: Early life

[edit]

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]

2014–2016: Breakthrough with Rombai

[edit]

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–present: Departure from Rombai and television career

[edit]

After her departure from Rombai in March 2016, she began a career in television. From May to August, she was a panelist on the Argentine reality show Gran Hermano.[18] In 2017 she joined for two months, the panel of the morning television show Desayunos informales, as a replacement panelist for Andy Vila.[19] After a few months, she began to be the show's reporter.[20] In 2021 she joined the culinary competition Fuego Sagrado as the community manager.[21] In 2022 she joined ¿Quién es la máscara? as the backstage host, and began hosting game show El Último Pasajero with Jorge Echagüe.[22][23] In July she left Desayunos informales, and after the finals of El Último Pasajero and ¿Quién es la máscara? she turned away from the television.[24]

In November 2022, she began hosting the program Weno que pasó on the streaming channel Aweno TV.[25]
