Doce — Bem Bom

Doce

Born: September 1, 1979

Origin: Portugal

Doce was a Portuguese pop all-female band founded in 1979, one of the first of its type in Portugal and in Europe. Its name is the Portuguese word for "sweet" and its core lineup consisted of Lena Coelho, Laura Diogo, Teresa Miguel and Fátima Padinha. The band was assembled by Tozé Brito, a Portuguese composer and mentor, who envisioned a group focusing on female sensuality, both visually and in its musicality. The group came to an official end in 1987, following Fátima Padinha's leave in 1986. The Portuguese singer Ágata replaced those band members during this final period.
