According to Jobim's sister, Helena, he composed ''Estrada Branca'' in their parents' home in the village of Poco Fundo, and it was one of several songs inspired by the rain.
The first recording of the song was in April 1958 by Elizete Cardoso for her album Cancao do Amor Demais, which bossa nova historian Ruy Castro says ''inaugurated the bossa nova sound''
