Last weekend, Nebulossa swept the Benidorm Fest and won the coveted bronze microphone after obtaining the approval of the professional jury and winning the televote for the final of the music contest.
Zorra, her song, talks about the empowerment and freedom of many women and members of historically marginalized groups, which is why it has caused a lot of talk in recent days in our country.
Since victory was won, thousands of people in Spain (and outside our borders) have given their opinion on the proposal. While many think that the message of the song is distorted by the use of a ‘profane’ word, many others think that it is a simple and effective way of reappropriating an animal term that has always been associated with an insult.
The situation has reached such a point that dozens of politicians and public figures in our country are giving their opinion on the issue of the Alicante group. Last Monday, February 5, the president of our country, Pedro Sánchez, went to the program Al Rojo Vivo, a space in which Ferreras asked him if he liked the song: ”Let’s see, yes. Feminism is not only fair, but it is fun. “This type of provocation necessarily has to come from culture.”
In addition to Sánchez, national journalists are asking other illustrious figures for their opinion of the musical track. Yesterday, during the premiere of the film Couples Therapy, reporters wanted to know the point of view of Massiel, one of the two Spanish winners of Eurovision.
Far from answering with kindness and receiving the question in a good manner, the singer gave the press a bad answer: “No, no, don’t even think about it (…) I’m coming to see two of Oscar’s singers.” When they insisted a little and asked her if she would see the performance, the interpreter of the legendary La, La, La was even sharper: ”I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter to you what I like. (…) Stop asking stupid questions.”
In a matter of a few days and with more than three months until Eurovision, Zorra has become one of the biggest hits in the history of Benidorm Fest. The empowerment song is, according to the Spotify platform, the most viral song in our country and, although it currently occupies fourth place worldwide, it reached second position on the list that brings together the most popular songs from around the planet. .
Although it is a more than obvious commercial success, we cannot ignore the great impact that its message has left on our society, since it has become the main topic of national conversation and has appeared in all types of media, both national and international.
