2014–2016: 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. 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.

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. They also performed joint concerts and had songs featuring fellow Uruguayan band Márama. In January 2016 the band released their first album ''De Fiesta''.

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. She was later replaced as vocalist by Argentine singer Emilia Mernes. 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.
