In their interview with Rory, Nebulossa talked about the differences between Benidorm Fest and Una Voce per San Marino. They also chat about the decision to include trans references in their song and what the best thing about the experience has been so far.
Who are Nebulossa?
Nebulossa is a musical duo made up of Mery Bas and Mark Dasousa. The pair have been married for 20 years, and have two children. As a musical project, Nebulossa was launched in 2018 and released their first song – “La colmena” – in 2020. In 2023, the duo were joined by Ophelia Alibrando to form a trio to try out for the Sammarinese selection – Una Voce per San Marino. Whilst the group failed to make it to the audition stage, the pair were selected to compete in Benidorm Fest 2024 with their song “Zorra”. They went on to win the competition, and will perform their self-penned song in Malmö.
Spain’s Eurovision journey
Spain debuted at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1961 with Conchita Bautista’s “Estando Contigo”. The country earned its first win in 1968 with Massiel’s “La La La”, and won again in 1969 with Salome’s “Vivo Cantando” in an infamous four-way tie. Although they have yet to win again, Spain earned several 2nd place finishes, most famously with Mocedades’ “Eres tu” in 1973 and Anabel Conde’s “Vuelve conmigo” in 1996.
In 2023, Spain selected Blanca Paloma to carry on the success of Chanel in 2022. As part of the Big 5, Blanca Paloma did not need to qualify to the Grand Final from the semi-finals. At the close of voting, her song “EAEA” finished 17th, with a total of 100 points. Of these, 95 points came from the jury, whilst 5 came from the televote.
