In 2018, she prepared a joint recording session as a birthday present for her mother (a virtuoso playing a classical guitar). This resulted in a very successful project, in which the two ladies combine the styles characteristic of Catalonia and the Iberian Peninsula such as bossa nova, fado, and boleros. An extraordinarily personal interpretation of Rita and Elisabeth’s favourite music has already been released on album Imagina and this year’s piece Como la piel featuring the wonderful title song “Nunca vas a comprender”.
