Marumo, a South African ensemble formed by visually impaired musicians from the Athlone School for the Blind in Bellville, near Cape Town, showcased their versatility in the 1982 album "Modiehi." Produced by West Nkosi, a member of Mahlathini & The Mahotella Queens, the album blends Sotho soul, Mbaqanga, disco-funk, gospel, and spacey-synth slow jams. The band members—John Mothopeng, Munich Sibiya, Simon Falatsi, and Marks Mbuthuma—had previously played in groups like Batsumi, All Rounders, and The Orations. Decades later, Marumo's music gained international recognition, featuring in DJ sets by Motor City Drum Ensemble, Floating Points, and DJ Okapi.
