I'm surprised this beautiful song is almost ccompletely ommited by classical guitarists. The only arrangement worth attention is one by Brazilian guitarist Paulo Bellinati, best known for his own compositions 'Jongo', 'Um Amor De Valsa', and 'Baião de Gude'.
Estrada Branca, also known under English title ""This Happy Madness" was composed by Jobim in 1958. Vinícius de Moraes wrote Portuguese lyrics and Gene Lees wrote English-language lyrics later.
Video with Bellinati's arrangement was recorded by Kevin Loh, young but already established guitarist from Singapore> this was his first video to share after finishin National Service.
