Life and career
editBas 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 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]
