More recently, they have been known for making impromptu appearances at weddings and parties singing traditional Spanish songs, often of a bawdy nature, in exchange for drinks or some money.* * *1) (Bot, Coc) (planta, fruto) prickly pear2) (Mús) tuna ( musical group made up of university students)•• Cultural note:A tuna, also called an estudiantina, is a group of strolling student players.

Am [higo chumbo] prickly pearTUNASome Spanish university students participate in small musical groups called tunas, who for a small donation will sing popular serenades. They wear traditional 17th century costumes and, playing a range of stringed instruments, they accompany wedding ceremonies and first communions. They still serenade young women under their windows. The first tunas date back to the 13th century, when hard-up students sang in taverns for a meal and a glance from their sweethearts. There are tunas all over Spain, and they are also found in Latin America (where they are more often known by the more general term “estudiantina”).* * *f2 Méxfruta prickly pearm, tuna f rogue* * *tuna nf: prickly pear (fruit) -
