Opwekking is Dutch Christian (Worship) music. Most of the songs are based upon - or translated versions of - English-languaged Worship and Praise songs. The first Opwekking-songs were bundled in a book by Wiesje Hoekendijk, who thought that there were not enough Worship songs among the songs that were usually sung in the Churches. Nowadays there are 710 Opwekking-songs and every year during the Opwekking-conference (with 50 000 - 90 000 visitors) about 10 new songs are released. Opwekking was first used only in charismatic churches, but nowadays also the more traditional churches (sometimes) use the music. Read more on Last.fm.
