Leur chanson \u00ab\u00a011:11\u00a0\u00bb m\u00e9lange des notes de rock m\u00e9tal avec un \u00e9tonnant et magnifique pont aux tonalit\u00e9s de guitare flamenco, avant de reprendre de plus belle. On a envie de sauter dans tous les sens ! Publi\u00e9e le 15 f\u00e9vrier 2024, leur chanson d\u00e9livre un message fort : m\u00eame si les adversit\u00e9s tentent de vous briser le c\u0153ur, l&rsquo;amour et le soutien des autres seront toujours l\u00e0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ainsi cette ann\u00e9e, l&rsquo;Eurovision verra donc une double pr\u00e9sence espagnole avec Nebulossa (qui concourre donc pour l&rsquo;Espagne) et Megara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Le <s>f<\/s>destin les a r\u00e9unis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alors qui sont les membres de Megara ? Le groupe, rock et de metal alternatif, a \u00e9t\u00e9 form\u00e9 en 2015 \u00e0 Madrid par le guitariste Rober et la chanteuse Kenzy. Apr\u00e8s avoir sorti leur premier EP \u00ab\u00a0<em>Mu\u00e9rase quien pueda<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb en 2015 et leur premier album studio \u00ab\u00a0<em>Siete<\/em>\u00a0\u00bb en 2016, ils ont commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 gagner en popularit\u00e9, faisant leurs premi\u00e8res apparitions au Download Festival et Resurrection Fest en 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>L&rsquo;histoire de leur rencontre est digne d&rsquo;un sc\u00e9nario de film. Tout commence lorsque Rober, le guitariste, se trouve soudainement sans chanteur pour son groupe originel. \u00c0 la recherche d&rsquo;une nouvelle voix qui pourrait les repr\u00e9senter, ils envisagent d&rsquo;abord un chanteur masculin, mais c\u2019est Kenzy qui attire l&rsquo;attention de Rober. Et la coincidence ne s&rsquo;arr\u00eate pas l\u00e0. Kenzy s&rsquo;appr\u00eatait \u00e0 emm\u00e9nager \u00e0 Madrid&#8230; juste \u00e0 c\u00f4t\u00e9 de chez Rober ! Cet alignement des \u00e9toiles a marqu\u00e9 les premiers pas de ce qui allait devenir la formation actuelle de Megara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Megara d\u00e9finit son style musical comme \u00e9tant du \u00ab\u00a0fuchsia rock\u00a0\u00bb, c\u2019est leur recette secr\u00e8te pour rester authentiques tout en secouant les playlists avec un style qui refuse de rentrer dans les cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Le rock en rose \u00e7a d\u00e9m\u00e9nage, et \u00e7a promet de belles couleurs dans l&rsquo;arena de Malm\u00f6 !<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div  id=\"_ytid_69041\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gXcDmbtDQTs?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"YouTube player\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/gXcDmbtDQTs\/maxresdefault.jpg\" title=\"\"><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewbox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Enfin !
