caption_attribution_description: English: Faith Rivera recieving Grace Note Award for her special contribution to the genre of Posi Music
context_page_description: Posi music has been around since the 1940s, though only recently has a definitive label been applied to music in this genre. Short for positive music, posi music is categorized by its intention to have a positive effect on the listener. Musicians who write and perform posi music profess a desire for their music to unite and inspire their audience and make them feel better.
  An example is "Accentuate The Positive" written by Johnny Mercer and made famous by Bing Crosby. The song defined the concept that there is polarity between being positive or being negative, specifically noting there is also no neutral as in "no more Mister In-Between".
  This concept has been expanded by groups promoting the education of posi music, such as the Positive Music Association, emPower Music and Arts and the Positive Music Imperative. This concept of Positive Music and Negative music has also been identified in the book called A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle
context_section_description: The Posi Music Festival for 2018 will be March 28-April 1, 2019 in Tampa, Florida, culminating with emPower Music & Arts' Posi Awards, an award ceremony recognizing artists producing outstanding Posi Music from the previous year. Tickets to hear a collection of artists (Mega Concert) may be available to the public.
  May 1 is Global Love Day, a celebration started by The Love Foundation. Posi Music plays a part as many Posi musicians sponsor the event.
  November has been declared Posi Music Month by many notable musicians in the genre. Fans are encouraged to "fast" from negative music and go on a "diet" of positive music for the month.
