Since Liliana Rodriguez and Raphaella Smits joined their talents for their first performance in May 2000 in Ghent, they make a greatly applauded duo.
According the German critic Clemens Höslinger of Klassik-heute, Liliana has "an enchanting sound that belongs among the most beautiful voices of our time". And the Dutch journalist Margaretha Coornstra of the Zwolse Courant wrote: "Liliana Rodriguez sings purely for her own pleasure, which is in principle the purpose of singing."

Raphaella and Liliana made a first CD in 2001:" Popular Spanish Songs", with Spanish folk music from Federico Garcia Lorca, Manuel de Falla and Joaquin Rodrigo.

In 2006 their second CD was released: " Reina de la noche" with Argentinian and Brasilian songs from Sergio Assad, Jorge Cardoso and Ariel Ramirez.
