Tufts-Skidmore

A Leader in Global and Intercultural Education

Our program has been offering students a first-class academic and cultural experience for over thirty years. Over the last several years, Tufts-Skidmore has become a leader in Global Citizenship training by providing all students with ongoing intercultural education and mentoring. Our program will not only prepare you to effectively reach your goals while in Spain, but will set you on a path to acquiring skills, knowledge and attitudes that will boost your academic and professional profile in today’s increasingly intercultural world.

Study in Alcalá

Students choose the Alcalá program because of it’s small-town feel, and intimate program setting. Alcala offers a close-knit community, a great university and a rich cultural experience. When you walk down the streets of Alcalá de Henares, the look and feel of Medieval and Renaissance Spain is all around you. With a population of 200,000, Alcalá boasts quiet, winding cobbled streets and gorgeous medieval buildings.

Named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Alcalá is the home of author Miguel Cervantes, whose novel, Don Quijote, has inspired readers and thinkers for over 500 years. The city celebrates the birthday of this famous son every year in October, with the delightful fiestas cervantinas that attract tourists from all over Spain and Europe. Like Madrid, Alcalá is home to a growing immigrant population (around 20%), and thus features an increasingly diverse group of inhabitants.

Linked to Madrid by an efficient and well-equipped public transportation system, students studying on the Alcalá program are only a 45-minute ride away from downtown Madrid, on city train or bus. The newly expanded, beautiful Alcalá Program center is located in the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras at the UAH (Universidad de Alcalá). Students attend classes at the UAH and at the Alcalá and Madrid program centers.

At this time the program offers a variety of “in-house” classes, many of which you won’t find anywhere else, taught by top-notch professors who are leading experts in their fields:

La tuna de Alcalá

Tuna de Alcalá de Henares

Aunque no te suene de nada eso de la tuna, quizás alguna vez te hayas cruzado en Alcalá de Henares con alguien con pantalones bombachos, capa y una guitarra. Si te preguntaste por qué y adónde iba vestido de esa manera, la respuesta es que era un tuno, es decir, un miembro de la tuna. Pero, ¿qué es la tuna?

La tuna de Alcalá es una hermandad de estudiantes universitarios que se visten con ropa antigua e interpretan canciones folclóricas, normalmente con instrumentos de cuerda, como guitarras, bandurrias y laudes, aunque también suelen llevar panderetas y castañuelas.

No se sabe a ciencia cierta de dónde procede esta tradición, pero se cree que puede venir de la costumbre que tenían algunos estudiantes medievales de pagarse los estudios con sus habilidades musicales, un fenómeno extendido por toda Europa.

En cualquier caso, ya hace muchos años que la tuna de Alcalá no tiene nada que ver con pagarse los estudios, se trata más bien de una actividad de ocio que atrae a algunos estudiantes con conocimientos musicales.

Aunque tradicionalmente la tuna era una actividad masculina, hoy en día acoge tanto a hombres como a mujeres. De todas formas, en las tunas suele haber más presencia masculina, probablemente porque una de sus actividades más típicas siempre ha sido dar serenatas a mujeres. De hecho, el término «tuna» probablemente venga de la palabra «tunante», que significa ‘pícaro’.

La tuna es una tradición de origen español que durante sus muchos años de existencia ha calado en otros países iberoamericanos, como Portugal y México, e incluso en países ajenos a la cultura latina, como Gran Bretaña. No obstante, hoy en día la tuna ya no tiene tanto éxito como hace unas décadas, seguramente porque a la mayoría de jóvenes actuales no les interesa mucho el folclore.

A pesar de que en algunas universidades españolas ya no existe la tuna, sigue siendo una tradición viva en casi todo el territorio español, sobre todo en Madrid, en Castilla y León y en Andalucía.

El repertorio de la tuna

El repertorio musical original de la tuna constaba sobre todo de composiciones medievales, pero con el paso del tiempo se fue enriqueciendo con diversos temas populares españoles, desde pasodobles y jotas a canciones de amor.

La canción más representativa de la tuna es Clavelitos, un tema compuesto por el español Genaro Monreal, con música de Federico Galindo, en 1949.

Aunque el repertorio de la tuna se nutre principalmente de la música popular y el folclore españoles, las tunas siempre han viajado mucho y es habitual que toquen algunas canciones de otros países. Es difícil encontrar una tuna española que no toque Cielito lindo o El Palmero, por ejemplo, que son canciones folclóricas mexicanas.

Premio Cervantes - Príncipes de Asturias y la Tuna de Alcalá

La tuna de Alcalá de Henares

En la Universidad de Alcalá de Henares siempre ha estado presente la tuna, aunque en sus inicios no era un agrupación, sino estudiantes individuales que tocaban por las calles de la ciudad para pagarse sus estudios. Con el paso del tiempo, esos estudiantes fueron formando agrupaciones para tocar en eventos y cantar rondas.

La tuna de Alcalá es una de las más históricas e importantes de España, y ha tenido entre sus miembros a personajes tan famosos como el escritor Francisco de Quevedo.

Actualmente, cuenta con miembros de todas las facultades de la Universidad de Alcalá y suele participar en todos los actos oficiales vinculados a esta, entre los cuales el más famoso es el Premio Cervantes de Literatura.

Tuna of Alcalá de Henares

Though Tuna is totally unknown for you, you may have crossed sometime in Alcalá someone wearing baggy trousers, a clock and a guitar. If you asked yourself in that moment why he was dress up in this way and where he was headed to, the answer is that he was a tuno, it means, a member of the Tuna. But, what is it a Tuna?

Tuna of Alcalá is a brotherhood made up by university students who dress up with old clothes and sing folklore songs—normally string instruments, such as guitars, bandurria and lutes, though they have also commonly tambourines and castanets.

It is not know for truth where this tradition comes from, but it is believed that it may be originated by the custom of some mediaeval students of using their musical ability in order to pay their studies, a phenomenon expanded to all Europe.

In any case, Tuna of Alcalá ceased being related with studying payments long time ago to be considered as a leisure activity performed by some students attracted to music and with knowledge about it.

Though traditionally Tuna was a men activity, today it is carried out by both women and men. Anyway, Tunas are commonly made up by males, probably because one of its more typical duties has always been singing serenatas to women. In fact, the term “tuna” comes probably from the Spanish word “tunante”, which means “scoundrel”.

Tuna—a tradition originated in Spain—has long influenced Latin American countries up to the point that some of them have created their own custom, such as Portugal and Mexico. Even some countries apart from Latin American culture, such as United Kingdom, join such tradition. However, Tuna is not as successful in the present as it was tens ago, surely because most young people today are not so interested on folklore.

Despite some Spanish universities have not Tuna anymore; Tuna is an alive tradition through almost all Spanish territory, above all in Madrid, Castilla y León and Andalucía.

Tuna’s Repertoire

The original musical repertoire of Tuna was made up mainly by mediaeval compositions. However, as time went by, it was gradually enriched by different popular tracks, since paso doble to jota or love songs.

The most representative song of Tuna is Clavelitos [Small Carnations], a song whose lyrics were composed by the Spanish Genaro Monreal, and music by Federico Galindo, in 1949.

Though Tuna repertoire is nourished in most part by popular and folklore Spanish music, Tunas have always travelled a lot and it is not weird to listen them playing songs from different countries. It is difficult to find a Spanish Tuna without a song so-called Cielito lindo or El Palmero, as an example, from Mexican popular folklore songs.

Cervantes Prize - Prince of Asturias and Alcalá’s Tuna

Tuna of Alcalá de Henares

There has always been a Tuna in the University of Alcalá de Henares. Although it was not a group at first—individual students used to play alone in the streets of the city to pay their studies—, as the time went by, students gradually made groups to play in events and sing rondas.

Tuna of Alcalá is one of the most historically relevant of Spain, and among its members, there have been personalities such as the writer Francisco de Quevedo.

Nowadays, students from all faculties of the University of Alcalá are members of Tune and use to participate in all official acts related with the institution, among which the most famous is Cervantes Prize for Literature.

La televisión china busca al mejor estudiante de español

La Televisión Central de China (CCTV) ha puesto en marcha su primer concurso nacional de hablar en español. Con la participación del Instituto Cervantes, en cuyo centro cultural de Shanghái se ha grabado el primero de los programas de eliminatoria, fomentará aún más el estudio del idioma en el país.

JOSÉ ÁLVAREZ DÍAZ. (EFE) / SHANGHÁI

«Queríamos celebrar este concurso desde hace ya seis años, pero en aquella época no era fácil, porque no había tanta gente que hablara español ni tantos estudiantes que quisieran participar, pero este año ya hemos llegado a un punto perfecto para empezar el concurso», dijo a Efe su productor y miembro del jurado, Ai Kuiyu.

El primer «Gran Concurso de Español de CCTV» contará con la participación de unas 170 personas de toda China: 60 de ellas que pasaron sus primeras pruebas en Shanghái (este), otras 60 más que lo harán en Pekín, y otro medio centenar que envió sus grabaciones por Internet desde otras zonas del país. Entre ellas se elegirán 20 finalistas que pasarán a la siguiente fase.

Así, después de grabar los dos primeros programas de la eliminatoria en las instalaciones del Cervantes de Shanghái y Pekín, se grabarán otros cuatro programas sucesivos en la emblemática nueva sede de la CCTV en Pekín, cuya forma similar a una letra eñe se aprovechó para el logotipo del concurso, donde se elegirán tres ganadores finales.

Quien se lleve el primer premio recibirá además un viaje a Perú con los gastos pagados, ofrecido por la embajada peruana en el gigante asiático.

El concurso no sólo se emitirá en el canal en español de CCTV, sino en otras cadenas en chino del grupo mediático estatal, destacó por su parte la directora del Instituto Cervantes en China, Inmaculada González Puig, también miembro del jurado (que se completó en este primer programa con el hispanista Lu Jingsheng). El certamen «indica el gran interés que hay por el español en estos momentos en China», indicó, sorprendida por el alto nivel de la mayoría de los concursantes.

«Entre los participantes, hay estudiantes universitarios, graduados, gente que está trabajando, que estudia el español para su profesión y gente a la que simplemente le gusta el idioma», explicó Ai.

Chinese TV Contest Seeks Best Spanish Student

Chinese television network CCTV has given a new twist to the typical talent-contest format, combining it with a language whose study grows increasingly popular here – Spanish – with a program that seeks the nation’s most proficient student in the language of Cervantes.

Beijing, Oct 21 (EFE).-

The state channel of China, a country where many international contest franchises have won big audiences («The Voice of China,» «China Has Talent»), began broadcasting the finals on Sunday of a competition in which contestants dance, do stand-up monologues or double, orate, and then suffer as the jury makes its decision, all in Spanish.

In the first «Grand Contest in Spanish of CCTV,» 170 students took part in the semifinals – 60 in Shanghai, an equal number in Beijing and 50 who posted their recordings online from other parts of the country.

The 20 brightest of them have now reached the finals, which will continue on Oct. 23 and Oct. 26, and from which one will emerge the winner, whose prize will be a trip to the Peru of the Incas with all expenses paid.

The program repeats the typical talent-show formulas, though it sometimes also recalls an end-of-course language exam, so that before the individual contestants take the stage to do their best, a giant screen presents an up close and personal video of each telling their own stories and the reasons why they study a language from such distant places.

La compañía teatral Impromadrid desarrollará un espectáculo de humor basado en la improvisación teatral el próximo viernes, 25 de octubre, a las 21:00 horas, en el Teatro Salón Cervantes.

La cita se enmarca en la XX Muestra Internacional de las Artes del Humor, organizada por la Fundación General de la Universidad de Alcalá (FGUA), a través del Instituto Quevedo del Humor (IQH).

Los espectáculos de Impromadrid son únicos e irrepetibles, con una serie de piezas improvisadas creadas a partir de las propuestas del público asistente, de lo que quieren ver en escena. Impromadrid tiene un único objetivo para los actores y el público: disfrutar.

Cada pieza improvisada supone un reto diferente y tiene sus propias reglas. El público decide qué es lo que quiere ver en escena: qué personajes, dónde sucede la acción, en qué estilo será la escena, el título, la relación entre los personajes, la primera frase, la postura de la que parten los actores… Casi cualquier estímulo es válido para comenzar a improvisar, siempre, con ayuda del público.

Impromadrid es una de las mejores compañías de improvisación teatral en habla hispana del mundo. Ganadores de más de diez festivales internacionales en los últimos años, sus producciones han viajado por todo el mundo. (Brasil, Finlandia, Suiza, Colombia, Holanda, Alemania, México, España, Portugal…), desde el año 2000 imparten cursos de improvisación teatral en España y en el extranjero
