MULLER BRANDT RELEASES TONGUE-IN-CHEEK NEW SINGLE ABOUT BRAAIBROODJIES

Braaibroodjies (toasted sandwiches prepared on the grill) are as unique to Afrikaans culture as milk tart and koeksisters and have inspired many creative recipes and videos.

Now this delicacy is back in the spotlight as the tongue-in-cheek subject of Muller Brandt’s latest single, BRAAIBROODJIES, which once again confirms that the way to an Afrikaner man’s heart definitely runs through his stomach!

This humorous track, that combines elements of blues, pop and rock, is about a guy who doubts whether his beautiful Crossfit-obsessed girlfriend (played by Nykie Pretorius from Op My Eish! Season 2) is the right one for him, because she can’t make braaibroodjies.

“She’s beautiful and all odds are in her favour, except for the fact that she can’t make braaibroodjies and to him that is a dealbreaker,” the musician explains about the song, which was produced by Jattie de Beer of Artistry Productions. “Braaibroodjies are synonymous to who we are as Afrikaners, and I wanted to write a song that is true to who we are. We also like to joke: ‘Can she make braaibroodjies?’, so the idea was based on that.”

In the music video, which is now also available, the main character then falls in love with another girl (played by the artist, Bibi) that makes the best braaibroodjies.

The video was shot on location at Louis McLaren’s home in Silver Lakes. Deon Dee from Dee-Graaff Productions was the director and producer, while Wilhelm van der Westhuizen was responsible for the camera work.

“People will like the song, because it is upbeat and invites you to sing along,” he shares.

BRAAIBROODJIES is now available on all digital platforms
