Production

The studio album contains two re-recordings of international songs: "Não Basta", a version of "No Basta" by the Venezuelan singer and composer Franco De Vita and "Bom Dia", which was recorded years before by the country duo Chitãozinho and Xororó.[1]

A great curiosity of the album, is that the song "Hoje é Dia de Folia", had its first chorus cut due to lack of space in the LP (being of the duration of 3:15), the integral version of the song, was only launched in the third official Brazilian compilation of Xuxa, the Pérolas (with the duration of 4:16).

Contrary to popular belief, Xou da Xuxa Seis chosen photos for the cover and back cover of Xuxa Seis are from the rehearsal for the studio album Xuxa 5 (1990). These same photos were even published in the international magazine Paula in October 1990.

So that the public did not confuse with its album in Spanish language Xuxa 2 that had been released shortly before and had the same cover, was inserted a Brazilian flag in the cover of Xuxa Seis.

Xou da Xuxa Seis was produced by Max Pierre, Michael Sullivan and Paulo Massadas, with artistic coordination Marlene Mattos and Xuxa.[2]
