Born in Brazil to a family of Holocaust survivors, Celso Rubinstein carved out a remarkable career as a vocalist, living and performing across Spain, Portugal, Israel, and Britain. In 1982, he stepped into Chico Batera's studio in Rio de Janeiro to record two songs that blended the warmth of Brazilian music with hints of soul, funk, and even a touch of rap influence — a bold and distinctly personal artistic vision. É A Vida Que Diz / Enquanto Houver stands as a testament to his unique cross-cultural musical identity.
Released in 2019 on the well-regarded imprint Notes On A Journey, this reissue marks the label's fifth release and its first 7-inch single, shining a well-deserved spotlight on Brazilian sounds. The two tracks — "É A Vida Que Diz" and "Enquanto Houver" — showcase Rubinstein's deeply expressive vocal style, rooted in jazz, Latin, and soul traditions while remaining refreshingly original. With a near-perfect average rating from listeners on Discogs, this release has clearly resonated with those who have had the pleasure of hearing it.
