It was formed in Valladolid (Castilla y León) in 1986. Eight friends, four of which played in the group Almenara decided to participate in a music contest under the name "Colectivo Eurofolk". They won the first prize and continued to play together changing their name to Celtas Cortos.
They won another contest in April 1987, the prize was the production of an album. They shared the prize with two other winners, so they contributed three songs to the album Así es como suena: Folk joven.
Executive producer Paco Martín helped them get out their first album, Salida de emergencia, with only instrumental songs. The next album, Gente Impresentable added the voice and the lyrics of Jesús H. Cifuentes (Cifu) to the powerful instruments. Their celtic rock style was combined with protest and other more melancholic lyrics. Through the years their music mixed with different styles such as Caribbean music, flamenco, electronic music or reggae. Their list of hits include 20 de Abril, La senda del tiempo or Tranquilo Majete.
In 2002 Cifu left the group, a definitive turning point after the departure of César Cuenca and Nacho Martín. In the beginning of 2006 Cifu comes back to the group to prepare their next release, 20 years after their foundation.

The song "C'est la vie" by Celtas Cortos is a celebration of diversity and acceptance. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "C'est la vie" (which means "that's life" in French), while emphasizing that "everyone is here." The song seems to be a call to embrace all different types of people, regardless of their differences.
The verses provide examples of people, fictional characters, and even animals that are often celebrated, admired, and helped. The lyrics ask, "why not you?" referring to the listener, who is also a part of this diverse group. The song suggests that we should extend the same acceptance and love to everyone, even those who may not typically receive it.
The use of French in the chorus of the song may suggest a nod to the idea of a global community and the understanding that diversity is not limited to a specific culture or language. The song encourages us to embrace "everyone" and to recognize that we all have the potential to be admired, respected, and helped.
