with entertainment by La Tuna de Xabia!
La Tuna de Xabia are a very colourful group of entertainers who are continuing a Spanish tradition which dates back to the early 13th century: the sopistas were poor students who made the most of their musical talent by strolling through the towns entertaining the locals in return for a bowl of soup and a few coins to help them pay for their studies – Angela will give a short presentation about these young men, who play their guitars, bandurrias and tambourines, carrying in their sashes over 700 years of history, a tradition which they keep doing for fun.
