Rise Up full title Rise Up (Colors of Peace) was a musical project to turn poems and writings by Fethullah Gülen into songs. A number of artists from various countries were contacted to perform adapted versions of his writings. The project took more than two years to realize and was released by Nil Production and Universal Music.
Background[edit]
Fethullah Gülen is a Turkish well-known Muslim preacher, scholar and author and founder of Hizmet also known as the Gülen movement. A prolific writer, he had also written a number of Islamic spiritual poems throughout the years in Turkish language. A collection of his poems had been translated and published in English language under the title Broken Plectrum.
A total of 50 translated poems in English were sent to various Muslim and non-Muslim artists coming from various countries. The artists were given the chance to pick one of the poems offered and compose and vocalize the poem of their choice from the 50 on offer and to record it in their own country studios to be part of the album.
The album turned into a veritable international album of world music encompassing various genres like jazz, pop, flamenco, rai, Indian music amongst others.[1]
Reportedly no restrictions were put on the artists in using of instrumentation, despite reservations by stricter Muslim interpretations about music and use of musical instruments.
