Rigoberta Bandini talks about Nebulossa’s ‘Zorra’: “It’s a symptom that we’re still not okay”

Music news

The choice of Nebula as representative of Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 It has not gone unnoticed in the country. Bitch It is the song that will travel to Sweden and take the stage at the Malmö Arena before millions of spectators. But this decision has not been a dish of good taste for everyone.

Since last January 29, countless anonymous users, celebrities, politicians and artists have spoken out about this election and have shown that Spain is more divided than ever. But it is not the first time that the Benidorm Fest has become an object of debate. It already happened two years ago after the presentation of Rigoberta Bandini with his Ow moma theme that vindicates the role of women and in which the nature that characterizes them is verbalized (in this case, the breasts).

Precisely, the Catalan artist has become the protagonist of the networks after the statements she gave at the photocall of the Goya Awards this past weekend and that are related to Bitch, Spain’s Eurovision bet. What do you think of the duo from Alicante coming to Sweden? “I think it’s a very brave proposal, very fun. I hope it works at Eurovision and they know how to understand these bitches that we are.”, he said to InĂ©s Hernand. But there is still more.

When asked by journalists on the red carpet about the debate generated by the title of the song, she has a clear answer: “That the word bitch still impacts us is a sign that we are still not well, right? There is a lot to work on and we will make all the songs we need until they stop making noise”he declared.

Some words that, as expected, have reopened the debate among users. “It shocks us when it is used as an insult. If Nebulossa’s song helps turn the meaning around, welcome!!!,” says a follower. “It’s a sign that you are not well. The rest of us are sane, sorry,” adds another user. And you, on which side of the debate do you position yourself?

Her time at the Goya Awards has brought very good news to Rigoberta. And she has won the award for Best Original Song with I just want love, a song from the soundtrack of I’m loving you madly. He took advantage of the occasion to dedicate it to the LGTBIQ+ group and launch an important message of awareness: “To all the people who have had to hide their way of being.”
