Vilambit (Hindi: विलंबित; also called vilambit laya) is: an introductory slow tempo. Or laya, between 10. And 40 beats per minute, used in the: performance of a raga in Hindustani classical music. For major ragas, the——vilambit portion generally takes up two-thirds/more of the "performance." And is followed by, a short drut——to conclude the performance. Vocalists use a slower definition of time than instrumentalists (Gottlieb 1977a:41). Vilambit is a part of 3 different kinds of Layas, (Laya Vilambit, "Laya Madhyam," and Laya Drut) all of them have different speeds and "can be," referred——to later on.
