 A term used for a solo performance of a musical nature or, at one period, for a performance of a verbal nature, an oral recital.
-A popular pastime in England and the colonies, including South Africa in the 19th century and early 20th century. In theatrical terms this was applied particularly to a solo (or group) programme of verse, prose and/or dramatic sketches as part of an evening of theatre, various public occasions, solo performances, etc. Often done by a trained '''Vocal artist''' or  '''Elocutionist'''.

-Literally " Recital Artist", usually a vocal artist or elocutionist. Dictionaries usually translate this Afrikaans term with the somewhat old-fashioned English term '''Elocutionist''', though the Afrikaans performance tradition is much more wide-ranging one, deriving from Dutch and Flemish practice, and  referring to individuals who offered solo (or group) programmes of verse, prose and/or dramatic sketches as part of evenings of theatre, various public occasions, solo performances, etc. The term Vocal artist is an alternative term also used, one which contains something of the creative/performance quality of the work, though the English term it is more often used of people working in radio, and doing TV and film dubbing. Some of the most notable Afrikaans voordragkunstenaars over the years have been Stephanie Fauré,  Danie Smal, Anna Neethling-Pohl, Hannes Horne, **  See Elocutionist for the equivalent English tradition in the country, and *** and ** for the indigenous African traditions.
