Journey
Travolta Mokalapa better known as Travolta or Mr Tall & Slender is a South African kwaito and house music artist. He gained prominence in the late 2000s through collaborations with Arthur Mafokate, the "King of Kwaito" and founder of 999 Music.
Mokalapa's breakthrough came when Mafokate began merging kwaito with house music.
Serving as a vocalist and songwriter, Mokalapa helped craft several tracks for the 2008 album Kwaito Meets House. He is best known for his distinct vocal hooks on hits like "Khungkhwane Basadi" and "Sekgalabjana."
Singing mostly in Southern Sotho and Tswana dialects, Mokalapa captures township narratives over club beats.
Beyond his work with 999 Music, he has contributed as a composer to regional electronic collaborations like "Mmaweledi."
