In June 2021, Payes and Roma presented their repertoire at JazzBaltica in Timmendorfer Strand, Germany, in a concert which impressed critic Angela Ballhorn through their simple and touching play.[17] During that summer, they also had a concert at the "INNtöne Jazzfestival" in the Innviertel, Austria, which was later aired by the Austrian radio station Ö1.[18]
In July 2022, Payés and her band played at Jazzclub Trier. The newspaper Volksfreund, titling "Heartache can be so fine", called her voice "phantastic", between ingratiation, aggression and infinite sadness.[19] In August, Payés met WDR Big Band for two concerts titled The Spanish Trombone in Cologne.[20][21] At ColorsxStudios in Berlin, Germany, Payés and Batlle recorded their new single "Vida" within the scope of A Colors Show.[22] In November, 2022, Payés performed with her group in Studio Foce, Lugano, Switzerland,[23] and had a concert at the 22nd festival Rigas Ritmi in Riga, Latvia,[24] before which they played at the concert hall Ancienne Belgique in Brussels, Belgium.

At the 36th Goya Awards ceremony in Valencia 2022, Payés performed Te venero with C. Tangana in a live TV broadcast by Radiotelevisión Española. About her performance Madrid's El Independiente wrote that her deep voice outshone "the famous presence of C. Tangana".[6][26]
