Appreciated at the Women’s Marathon
Baquetum’s performance at the women’s marathon “Tjejmilen” on August 30, was much appreciated. Baquetum supported “Rosa Bandet,” which is the Swedish Cancer Society’s campaign to inform about breast cancer and raise funds for breast cancer research. Competitors were able to choose from two different paths when particpating in the marathon. Choosing the “Rosa Bandet” path, meant donating money for breast cancer research. Baquetum were encouraging people to donate money by performing at the entrance of the “Rosa Bandet” path. “Baquetum’s performance was great and encouraging,” said Adela Rodrigo from the Swedish Cancer Society.

This year’s Pride Parade in Stockholm on August 1 attracted a crowd of more than 350 000 people. Among the 35 000 parade particpants were Baquetum who contributed with great energy and Brazilian rhythms. ” I had goose bumps during the whole parade,” said a girl who walked ahead of us during the three hour long parade. This year, Baquetum wore green accessories and ribbons to show support for democracy in Iran and the issues surrounding the gay community there. See photos from the parade.
