Gemini (Portuguese band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gemini was a Portuguese band from the seventies.

The members were Fatima Padinha, Teresa Miguel, Tozé Brito and Mike Sergeant.

In 1977 they participated in the Portuguese national final in order to represent the country in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Portugal no coração. The song won, however every song was sung by 2 performers and the audience preferred Os Amigos over Gemini.

They took their revenge a year later when they won the national final with the song Dai li dou. Fortunately their revenge didn't taste sweet but bitter, since they only reached the 18th position.

Teresa and Fatima would represent Portugal once more in 1982 in the band Doce.
