April 2025 is a Pink Moon.

The name Pink Moon comes from the April full moon's seasonal association, appearing in spring around the blossom time for flowers, according to the Farmers' Almanac. The full moon aligns with the blooming of Phlox subulata, a pink wildflower native to eastern North America. In Jewish tradition, the Pink Moon is recognised as the 'Passover Moon,' as it signifies the commencement of the Jewish festival of Passover (Pesach).

Drum pictured is a djembe. This goblet-shaped drum is traditionally carved from a single piece of African hardwood and topped with an animal skin as a drumhead. In western understanding, the drum belongs to the membranophone class of instruments in the percussion family. They are called membranophones because sound is created by vibration of membrane stretched tight.
