E A VIDA QUE DIZ by CELSO RUBINSTEIN

Great brazilian tunes on this 7'' double sider!!

Born in Brazil to a family of Holocaust survivors, Celso Rubinstein’s career as a
singer allowed him to take residency in several countries including Spain,
Portugal, Israel and Britain. He performed as an artist in numerous clubs and
supported other artists as backing vocalist. In 1982 he booked studio time at
Chico Batera’s studio in Rio De Janeiro to record two songs for an intentional
debut album.

On «Enquanto Houver», written by Paulinho Mendonça and Gerson Conrad,
Rubinstein tried to infuse some rap flavour: «I wanted to get away from that
style of singing where you sing a bunch of notes without breathing. You can
hear that all the words in the song are pronounced properly but the cadence
is broken up, so the intention was to do a kind of rap without it seeming to be
rap.
