Doce was a Portuguese female band from the 1980s. It was one of the first girl bands in Europe.
The girls took part in the Portuguese national final in order to represent the country in the
Bem bom" ("Very good") and went on the Eurovision Song Contest 1982 to reach the 13th position.[1]
There is also an English version of this song, called "Bim Bom", as well as a Spanish version, called "Bingo".
The members were Laura Diogo, Lena Coelho (who later also became an
actress), Fátima Padinha (first wife of Pedro Passos Coelho), and Teresa Miguel. Those last two were the female half of the band Gemini
who represented Portugal in 1978. Fernanda da Sousa, who would later have notable success in Portugal as Ágata, temporarily replaced Coelho during the latter's pregnancy in 1985 and then replaced Padinha after her departure in the same year.
In 2021, director Patrícia Sequeira released two projects about Doce: a seven-part series titled Doce and a film titled Bem Bom.[2] Doce first screened at Series Mania, a European television series festival, and Bem Bom released in domestic theaters.
