On 3 February 2024, the duo won the Benidorm Fest 2024 with the song "Zorra ", earning the right to represent Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 , where they finished in 22nd place.
Life and career
Bas and Dasousa have been married for over 20 years. Together they have two children.[ 4]
Nebulossa formed in 2018.[ 4] The name of the group alludes to nebulae (nebulosa in Spanish and in Portuguese ) because on a trip to Port Ainé they went to an astronomical observatory where they constantly mentioned them. The double S is a symbolic reference to the Catalan language , where many words use this spelling.[ 2]
In 2022, as a trio together with Ophelia Alibrando,[ 5] they participated in Una voce per San Marino , San Marino's preselection contest for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 , but did not progress past the audition stage.[ 6] Nebulossa competed in Benidorm Fest 2024 , the Spanish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 , with the song "Zorra ".[ 7] [ 8] They placed first in their semi-final on 30 January 2024, qualifying for the final of the Fest,[ 9] which they won.[ 10] Nebulossa then participated on 9 May at the Malmö Arena in the second semi-final, joined by Ana Villa who played percussion with luminous drumsticks.[ 11] During the grand final, held on 11 May, Nebulossa performed in eighth place,[ 12] but after adding the votes of the specialized jury and the televote they obtained a total of 30 points, placing 22nd.[ 13]
