Len Muller Sings Theme Song of New Afrikaans Sitcom Mense Mense

Earlier this month a brand new Afrikaans sitcom, MENSE MENSE, made its debut on kykNET (and is available for South African expats to watch on Showmax International). It includes not only a star-studded cast, but also boasts a beautiful theme song by popular South African singer and songwriter, Len Muller, which everyone is talking about!

The song – ‘Vrede’ – is an upbeat contemporary track in Len’s distinctive Afrikaans-Acoustic style and was written in collaboration with Roan van As and Raldo Mattheus.

The single – taken off the artist’s second album Oog van die Storm, hit radio stations this week. The music video for Mense Mense (Vrede) was filmed on the rooftop of MultiChoice City. (Watch below.)

‘Mense Mense’ is about a group of friends who share their lives by working, hanging out and living together in one building. It explores the ups and downs of friendship, relationships and growing up… and shows the unshakeable love that can be shared when strangers become family.

The cast includes well-known actors like Sandra Prinsloo, Crystal-Donna Roberts, Bobby van Jaarsveld, Lea Vivier, Solomon Cupido and Reynard Slabbert, with Pierre van Pletzen behind the camera and Nico Scheepers as director.

Len says: “When they phoned me to ask if they could use my song, I had to pinch myself several times to make sure that I was not dreaming.

“Even more so when we shot a music video starring Sandra Prinsloo and Bobby van Jaarsveld!”

Although the lyrics are deep and meaningful, the song has a light-hearted approach with a catchy tune .

Len says: “To me, it is about every person’s pursuit to find peace and how I find my own in God, especially when life and circumstances make it seem impossible.”

He reveals that he suffers from anxiety and depression and “wanted to write something that promotes peace to those who struggle with the same issues”.

Len is best-known for his duet, Vir Die Een Wat Geval Het, with Joshua na die Reën, as well as the instant hit, Ek Glo.
