    Do you mean a tuna that is a spanish serenade played with guitars and tambourines?

    The city Salamanca in the southwest of the region, a university-city with a long student-tradition, is the city of the 'Tuna': a type of serenade, performed for loved ones, wherefore the performers (often students) dress in medieval clothes and play music with mostly a mellow character and played with guitars and some tambourines.Other used musical instruments in Castilla y Leon are percussion instruments.
