Una manera diferente de ver a los voladores de Papantla en la hermosa ciudad de Tlaquepaque Jalisco México. Agradecemos a Crisanto de Leon Salazar (Volador de Papantla) por facilitarnos realizar este trabajo.
Este ritual está asociado a la fertilidad, no obstante según los registros antropológicos, la danza existía con otras características y fue relacionada al culto religioso en la era posclásica, gracias a que fue incorporada a la cultura totonaca y posteriormente los aztecas de adicionaron elementos solares y de mayor peligrosidad, pues danza del Volador se ejecuta con cuatro danzantes que representan los cuatro puntos cardinales y el caporal, pero se observaron danzas con sólo dos danzantes. La fertilidad se representa mediante el descenso de los danzantes, que simbolizan la caída de la lluvia. Fuente (wikipedia)
According to Totonac myth, at least 450 years ago there was a severe drought that brought hunger to the people. The gods were withholding the rain because the people had neglected them. The ceremony was created, to appease the gods and bring back the rains. In some versions of the story, the ritual is created by the old men of a village, who then chose five young men who were chaste. In other versions, the five men themselves create the ritual. The tallest tree in the nearby forest is cut down, with the permission of the mountain god, stripped of branches and dragged to the village. The trunk is erected with much ceremony. The youths climb the pole and four jump off while the fifth played music. The ritual pleased the rain god Xipe Totec and other gods, so the rains began again and the fertility of the earth returned (source wikipedia)
