Eurovision is now less than a month away. In the lead-up to the start of rehearsals, we will get to know a bit more about this year’s artists, their discography and their Eurovision 2024 journey so far. Next up, we will preview Spain’s 2024 representatives, Nebulossa.
Nebulossa’s Eurovision Journey so far…
Nebulossa were selected to represent Spain in this year’s competition after winning Benidorm Fest 2024. As Spain are part of the big five, they qualify automatically to the final, and will learn their spot in the running order in due course.
During pre-party season, the pair performed at PrePartyES, Barcelona Eurovision Party, and Eurovision In Concert.
What do we think of “Zorra”
The team at That Eurovision Site have reacted to Spain’s entry for Malmö. Tim gives his thoughts on “Zorra” which you can check out below, you can also check out our written reaction here:
Who are Nebulossa?
Nebulossa is a musical duo who are a pair both inside the music industry and outstde, 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 in the microstate, this year 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.
The name Nebulossa comes from the word nebulae, (nebulosa in Spanish) and originated on a trip the pair made to the Port Ainé observatory in Catalonia – the second S being added as a tribute to the Catalan language, where there double s is common.
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.
