Yea, I play the guitar on the "Tuna Universitaria" of my university. I know it sounds like the fish, but it has a completly different meaning. Is a spanish tradition that started on the medieval universities. So many of the instruments are from medieval Spain. We can mention:
Tambourine
Guitar
Bandurria
Lute (Spanish lute)
those are the main instruments, some Tunas use also mandolin, accordeon, castanets, cajón. etc

I don't know what you might be playing now, but if I just wanted a second "fun" instrument it would be the ukulele. I know that sounds not so interesting just for backing up hula dancers BUT, if you ever listened to the ukulele clips on YouTube you might change your mind
Sounds interesting! Thanks!
I;m going to try all of them(:

Is this like your "Tuna" ? many "Tuna" on YouTube. Something new for me to hear.
Yes, they are the tuna of Universidad de la Laguna, Spain. I play on the tuna of Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola, at Lima Perú. The Tuna Universitaria is not only a music group, is a Brotherhood. This tradition started on the first universities of Spain, on the 13th century, when the poor students had to play music to survive.
On the video you display, there can be seen the 4 main instruments, the tamborine, that is the percussion instrument, the guitar, the bandurria that is like a mandolin with a thik neck and the spanish lute that is like the bandurria with a longer neck.
