Laey and Laey-Kari

LAEYS - The literal meaning of  Laey in English could be related to Tempo

Whenever a musical instrument is played, or a dance is performed there is an associated "Laey" with it. Laey tells the speed of your dance and singing.

3 major laeys are:

1. Vilamvit laey - The literal meaning of vilamvit in English is delayed. This says that in Vilamvit laey the music is played at a slower pace hence the speed of dance is very slow.

2. Madhya laey - The literal meaning of madhya in English is medium. This says that in madhya laey, the music pace is little faster than vilamvit laey, hence the dance is also in a higher pace.

This is usually the normal pace of singing and dancing. Broadly speaking, madhya laey is double the pace of vilamvit laey 

3. Drut laey - The literal meaning of drut in English is double. This says that in drut laey, the music pace is very fast hence the dance is also in a higher pace. Broadly speaking, drut laey is double the pace of madhya laey.


I'll get back with the type of laey-kari in my next topic.
