What does

"se visten en una manera de las tunas"

mean?

Translation says "prickly pear". I believe it is most likely an old way of dressing. Any of you want to take a whack at it?

Haha smile

Thank you

La tuna means a student musical (singing) group according to wordreference dot com. The plural form would be "las tunas". I don't know the larger context from which this noun came, but it could be a reference to several groups of students out caroling.

Las Lunas in the Southwest U.S. and Mexico means "the tunas", as in the fruit of the Prickly Pear Cactus (tunas).

In the Caribbean, it mean tuna as in fish.
