When María Bas decided to send Nebulossa’s candidacy to Benidorm Fest 2024 without saying anything to her duo and life partner, Mark Dasousa, little did she expect that they would end up winning the contest. The group achieved 156 points, seducing the jury and the public, which awarded them the bronze microphone and a direct ticket to Malmö to represent Spain in the next Eurovision Song Contest.
Through tears, the vocalist received the trophy from Blanca Paloma, winner of the last edition. In this way, the archer’s stage is closed to open that of the Fox. “We are super happy and trying to assimilate this because it is not easy. We did not expect this at all,” María said a few hours after her victory in the media meeting after the final.
And if there is something that excites both her and her husband, it is being able to carry their message throughout Europe, one of female empowerment and the LGTBI community. “When you feel humiliated, mistreated, marginalized… I think it is not necessary to be called a bitch, and I have felt that way many times,” the woman from Alicante said about the meaning of her topic.
Some values ??that they have proposed to instill in their children. It is not surprising that a few minutes after winning first place they ran to hug them, who were waiting for them backstage. And this picturesque couple not only has the most viral song of the Spanish festival, but also an inseparable family.
But if there is something that has made María Bas’s eyes glaze over, it has been remembering that she is fulfilling a dream. The singer has stated that “this has become very big” and that her desire was to “make herself known” and take her proposal “from her to all people.” Something that she, without a doubt, has achieved.
Hearing all of Benidorm chant their “bitch, bitch, bitch” is something very exciting for both members of the group. Even so, they are clear that it is a bet that can cause many blisters. Something for which they must be prepared psychologically, seeing what happened on previous occasions, such as, for example, with Chanel. “We are of an age where we experience things and deal with them in a different way. It is very easy, we are not 20 years old and I hate it,” María stated emphatically. Some words that Mark Dasousa has seconded.
Likewise, both are clear that all those people who repudiate the song for what it represents are only agreeing with them: “We are clear that we are going to carry this message to the end of the consequences.”
Now, they only have to polish their proposal and carry out a long pre-Eurovision campaign before taking the step to the great showcase that is the Eurovision stage. Something for which they have three months ahead of them, but which, on the other hand, is just around the corner. For this reason, María Bas has forcefully expressed that there is only one thing left for them to do: “Get ready!”
