"Academic Tuna Guy" - Music Around the World - Cake notes

Welcome to Music Around the World – Cake Notes!
Yesterday, October 1st the world celebrated International Day of Music!
Music Around the World – Cake Notes is a cake collaboration created 41 cake and sugar artists from all over the world, representing 24 countries and presenting the music made around the world.
You can see all the creations together in our gallery, as well as the individual albums with details of every piece.
For each piece there is a video that illustrates somehow the presented piece, so you can not only appreciate the beauty of the creation but also the music itself.
A collaboration to appreciate with all your senses… <3

Apart from the other cake I showed you before,representing the theme of the collab, I also wanted to make a cake that would represent my country, Portugal.
A Tuna is a musical group, that consists mainly of string instruments, and usually also percussion instruments like bass drum and tambourine. The Tuna can be presented as a mere instrumental ensemble (its first origin) and in the version voice and instrument (currently in vogue). This work represents the Academic Tunas ,a group of higher education students. One of the figures that stand out in academic tuna, and that always fascinated me in my university student days, is the Tambourine player (Pandeireta_) which sometimes presents an almost acrobatic show. This caricature is my tribute to Tunas and excellent "_Pandeitetas" that exist in our universities.

In this video you can watch a performance of the Coimbra University Tuna with a great tambourine players (Pandeiretas) exhibition.

I’m really grateful to all the fabulous artists that accepted to join me in this musical collaboration. I’m really glad to be at the side of all this talent!
