Tuna

A tuna is a group of university students in traditional university dress who play traditional instruments and sing serenades.The tradition originated in Spain and Portugal in the 13th century as a means of students to earn money or food.Nowadays students don't belong to a "tuna" for money nor food, but seeking to keep a tradition alive, for fun, to travel a lot and to meet new people from other universities.A senior member of a tuna is a "tunante", but is usually known simply as a "tuno".The newbies are known as "caloiros".
