Xuxa 2 is the eighth studio album and the second in Spanish language Brazilian recording artist Xuxa. The album was released on April 25, 1991, by BMG. The tracks did not undergo major changes, the instrumental sounded more pleasant and with a more Latin beat. The song "Crocki Crocki" is the only one that does not belong to the last two albums, but to Xegundo Xou da Xuxa (1987). The album was produced by Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas. The direction of the voice and the versions of the songs were made by Graciela Carballo.

Production

The album was produced by Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas with artistic coordination by Max Pierre and Marlene Mattos. The repertoire selection was made by Xuxa, Mattos and Sullivan. The recordings were made at the Som Livre studio in Los Angeles. [1]

Like the previous album, Xuxa consists of some hits from the Spanish-language TV presenter such as "Tindolelê" ("Chindolele"), "Hada Madrina" ("Dinda Ou Dindinha"), "I Love You Xuxu" and "Luna de Cristal" "("Lua de Cristal"). The song "El milagro de la vida" was the opening theme of the Argentine telenovela El árbol azul , which was shown between 1991 and 1992 by El Trece.

The cover of "Xuxa 2" was chosen in August 1990, before the album was even recorded. The recordings of the album did not begin until October of that same year (then, there was no photographic essay for the album "Xuxa 2" and Xou da Xuxa Seis but a reuse of the essay for Xuxa 5), including, the photographer Paulo Rocha is credited to all 3 albums. For that, in the cover of the Xou album of the Xou da Xuxa Seis , it appears in the lower left corner of the cover, it owns a Brazilian flag, to inform the consumers that is the portuguese version of the album. [2]

Release and reception

The album was distributed internationally by Globo Records and released on April 25, 1991, in Latin America, the United States and some European countries, such as Spain, by RCA Records. [3]

Xuxa reached the seventh position in the ranking Billboard Latin Pop Albums on July 27, 1991, during 27 consecutive weeks the album was among the best sellers. [4]

On April 28, 1991, to promote the album, Xuxa participated in the L.A Fiesta Broadway festival. [5]   On the occasion, Xuxa sang "Loquita Por Ti", "Chindolele", [6] and "Luna de Cristal". [7] Also, she sang "Arco Iris", [8] "Ilarié" and "Danza de Xuxa", [9] from her previous album in Spanish, "Xuxa", too.
