About Tuna

Tuna is a traditional musical genre originating from the Iberian Peninsula, primarily associated with university student groups known as Estudiantinas. The instrumentation typically features acoustic string instruments like the guitar, mandolin, and bandurria, often accompanied by accordions and tambourines.
