Carnaval y música: una breve semblanza de la Tuna Compostelana de 1888

Resumen

At the end of the 19th century, Spanish carnivals have been marked
by the participation of the different tunas or also known as, estudiantinas.
These groups achieved significant relevance in Galicia, especially in the city of
Compostela, which, year after year, encouraged and supported the formation of
groups of this nature to liven up the carnivals in the different Spanish cities.
Although, different from its predecessors, the Santiago Tuna of 1888 ventured
and made its mark in history, thanks to its intrepidity in having been the first
Galician group that crossed the borders and enlivened the carnivals in the cities
of the neighboring country, Portugal. This research, approached from a
historical and descriptive perspective, aims to carry out a review of the
semblance Compostelana Estudiantina of 1888, through primary and
secondary sources, and place it as an indispensable part of a tradition, which
lasts until today.
