Nebulossa (Spanish pronunciation: [neβuˈlosa]) is a Spanish electropop duo from Ondara, [1] [2] consisting of singer María "Mery" Bas [ es] (born 18 September 1968) and keyboardist and producer Mark Dasousa (born 2 January 1974). [3]

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.

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) 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, [9] which they won. [10]
