I'm not sure what voladores are (fliers? I suspect not). I saw a
display of native dance accompanied by pipe-and-tabor in the
Yucatan. It was performed on a platform atop a very tall pole (30
meters?). Before I thought to look up, I had trouble discerning
where the music was coming from. It was in the parking lot of
Xel-Ha or Xcaret, I forget which, about eight years ago.
