<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nA Luso-Can Tuna foi batizada a 14 de Mar\u00e7o de 1998, em Toronto, Canad\u00e1, pela sua mui ilustre e nobre tuna madrinha \u2013 a Tuna Acad\u00e9mica da Universidade dos A\u00e7ores (TAUA). A celebra\u00e7\u00e3o do batismo foi inserida na Semana Acad\u00e9mica da Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Portuguesa da Universidade de Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Desde ent\u00e3o esta tuna tem crescido, aprendido, e evolu\u00eddo, mas acima de tudo tem espalhado alegria, amizade, e bo\u00e9mia por onde tem passado. A prova viva desta uni\u00e3o e desta for\u00e7a de vontade \u00e9 a sua exist\u00eancia ap\u00f3s 20 anos lutando num pa\u00eds distante por preservar a sua cultura e trabalhando para a prosperidade deste grupo. Em mar\u00e7o de 2018, a Luso-Can Tuna celebrou o seu vig\u00e9simo anivers\u00e1rio com o lan\u00e7amento do seu primeiro CD, Carpe Diem.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Esta tuna tem-se deslocado e atuado em v\u00e1rias partes do mundo, incluindo Portugal Continental e Insular, nos Estados Unidos, e no M\u00e9xico. J\u00e1 foi distinguida com os pr\u00e9mios da melhor pandeireta e da Tuna Mais Tuna. A Luso-Can Tuna tamb\u00e9m tem como tradi\u00e7\u00e3o a organiza\u00e7\u00e3o do FITCa (Festival Internacional de Tunas no Canad\u00e1).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Os objetivos primordiais desta tuna s\u00e3o extremamente importantes para o seu funcionamento: nunca perder o la\u00e7o com as suas ra\u00edzes culturais; nunca perder o contato com os seus padrinhos; promover interesse e orgulho entre os jovens luso-canadianos pelas suas ra\u00edzes culturais; criar uma nova express\u00e3o cultural com basenas tradi\u00e7\u00f5es; representar as comunidades portuguesa e canadiana de Toronto; eservir como um embaixador do trabalho harmonioso de ambas para o resto do mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n O nome dos 17 fundadores desta Tuna s\u00e3o : <\/p>\n\n\n\n Amicis ad perpetuam, sic itur ad fortuna magna!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n It all started in September of 1997, when some members of TAUA, during a visit to Toronto, prompted a group of young university students to start the first tuna in Canada. It was with this challenge, and the great effort and persistence of that group of 17 young people, that Luso-Can Tuna was born.<\/p>\n\n\n Luso-Can Tuna was baptized on March 14, 1998, in Toronto, Canada, by the mui ilustre e nobre<\/em> godmother tuna, a Tuna Acad\u00e9mica da Universidade dos A\u00e7ores (TAUA). This celebration coincided with the University of Toronto\u2019s Portuguese Association\u2019s Academic Week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since then, Luso-Can Tuna has grown, learned and evolved; but, above all, Luso-Can Tuna has spread joy, friendship and bohemia. The proof of this camaraderie and willpower is its existence after years of struggling to keep their traditions and culture alive and well attended in a distinctly multi-cultural country. In March of 2018, Luso-Can Tuna celebrated its 20th<\/sup> anniversary with the release of their first original CD, Carpe Diem<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This tuna has visited and performed in many parts of the world, including Portugal (both the Continent and the Azores Islands), the U.S and Mexico. It has had the honour of winning various awards at various festivals, including \u201cmelhor pandeireta\u201d (best tambourine routines) and \u201cTuna Mais Tuna\u201d (Overall Excellence). Luso-Can Tuna has continued the tradition of music festivals here in Canada with their own FITCa (Festival International de Tunas no Canad\u00e1). The primary objectives of this tuna are the reasons it has flourished in these past 20 years: keeping close the cultural bonds of their roots and home; keeping contact with TAUA, their godparents; promoting pride and interest in their roots to Luso-Canadian youth; creating a new cultural expression with a base always in tradition; representing the Torontonian Portuguese and Canadian communities wherever they go; and, above all, being ambassadors and showing testament to teamwork and camaraderie to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The names of the 17 founding members of this Tuna are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amicis ad perpetuam, sic itur ad fortuna magna!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tudo come\u00e7ou em Setembro de 1997 quando alguns elementos da TAUA, numa visita a Toronto, desafiaram um grupo de jovens a come\u00e7ar a primeira tuna no Canad\u00e1.
