Cientuna

It was born out of friendship, music, bohemia and the academic spirit. Over the years we've travelled around Portugal and Spain, singing (originals and not only!), enchanting and appearing at festivals, but also at popular parties, social gatherings and street performances. To be part of the Tuna is to experience university as a whole, beyond all the subjects to be completed, to grow up and experience academic life in an unforgettable way!

Tuna Masculina do Porto

With the lessons of their mother Ciência in their minds and the blessing of their father Bacchus in their blood, the journey that began in the 1990s continues unabated after almost 30 years, of serenades to beautiful maidens, of dedication to Invicta, of ephemeral student life and a lot of companionship.

Come and take to the stage and join the journey that has been developing inside and outside this small country by the sea.
