History
2018–2021: Formation and Poliédrica de mí
Nebulossa formed in 2018 when Bas and Dasousa decided to form a musical group.[4][5] 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 2020, Nebulossa presented their first single "La Colmena". The following year, in 2021, they presented their first studio album, "Poliédrica de mí", where they included the song "Glam", which was chosen as Best Song of 2021 by the Indie Cool community. They were also winners of the Studio Mans contest and nominated for the Pop Eye Awards as Breakthrough Group.[6]
2022–2024: Eurovision
In 2022, as a trio together with Ophelia Alibrando,[7] 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.[8]
In 2023, they released their song, "Me ha dado porno".[9] Nebulossa competed in Benidorm Fest 2024, the Spanish selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, with the song "Zorra".[10][11] They placed first in their semi-final on 30 January 2024, qualifying for the final of the Fest,[12] which they won.[13] 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.[14] During the grand final, held on 11 May, Nebulossa performed in eighth place,[15] but after adding the votes of the specialized jury and the televote they obtained a total of 30 points, placing 22nd.[16]
2024–present: After Eurovision
After returning from Malmö, Nebulossa performed on 13 May at the Madrid patron saint festivities, held at the Pradera de San Isidro.[17] It was also confirmed that they would participate, along with other Spanish bands and artists such as Amaral and Mikel Erentxun, in the Río Verbena Fest in Pontevedra in August 2024.[18]
