September is the Full Corn Moon - and this year, it’s the Harvest moon.

The Harvest Moon and Full Corn Moon both typically refer to the full moon in September, marking the time for gathering crops. The Harvest Moon is specifically defined as the full moon closest to the Autumnal Equinox, while the Full Corn Moon is the traditional name for the September full moon itself

September's full corn moon is so called because this is when crops are gathered at the end of the summer season. At this time, the Moon appears particularly bright and rises early, letting farmers continue harvesting into the night. This moon is also sometimes named the barley moon, and it is often the nearest full moon to the autumnal equinox, earning the title of 'harvest moon'.

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.
