Guitarist Nonato Luiz is an incredibly prolific recording artist... And I've only heard a tiny fraction of his work... Here's a quick peek.
Nonato Luiz "Terra" (Sony-Epic, 1980)
Nonato Luiz & Pedro Soler "Dialogo" (CBS, 1982)
Nonato Luiz "Johannesburgo" (1983)
Nonato Luiz "Violao Brasileiro" (1985)
Nonato Luiz "Guitarra Brasileira" (Alemanha, 1987)
Nonato Luiz "Fe Cega -- Nonato Luiz Toca Milton Nascimento" (EMI, 1988)
Nonato Luiz / Djalma Correa / Luiz Alves "Gosto De Brasil" (Fantasy/Caju, 1991)
Sleek acoustic guitar work anchors this album, with bassist Alves and percussionist Correa rounding out the trio. It's a little too flowery and easy on the ears for me, but it's not bad. Baden Powell or Luiz Bonfa fans might light this album...

Nonato Luiz "Retrato Do Brasil" (1999)
Nonato Luiz & Abel Silva "Bau De Brinquedos" (2000)
Nonato Luiz "...Toca The Beatles" (Kuarup, 2000)
Also known as Nonato's "White Album..." To the untrained ear (mine), this would seem like an album of easy listening music -- very pretty acoustic guitar renditions of well-known Beatles oldies. No huge, game-changing creative twists, but a nice set of elevator music. Interesting arrangement of "The End," though, at the end of the album.
