Patrizia Laquidara

When she was very young her family moved to a small town in northern Italy, region Veneto, province of Vicenza, where she began studying music and playing in piano bars during weekends.

In 1999 one of her songs, "Stella nascente", was included on an album titled Canzoni per Ornella Vanoni e Mario Lavezzi, but her true love at the time was for Brazilian music.

At the same time, she developed many other projects, collaborating with the pianist Debora Petrina or composing songs for the soundtrack of the 2005 movie Manuale d'amore, directed by Giovanni Veronesi.

The album was dedicated to the tightrope walker Philippe Petit, who walked on a steel wire between the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

During 2009 she participated on the show Musica dei cieli (Music of the skies) and was part of a traditional Italian Christmas songs concert in the big Rome Auditorium.

After coming back to Italy, she received the Giovanni Paisiello prize, a part of the Magna Grecia Awards, with the following motivation: "The musical event, the balance between the high pitches and the shades in the pronunciation of words, make her voice a unique melody, Patrizia Laquidara emphasizes old sonorities and enters the scene, barefoot, to leave her untold impressions in the intimate sactum of every heart, that opens with her to new rhythms".

She participated in a show on the national television channel Rai Due, then flew to the United States for a July tour, with concerts in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York, along with the Brazilian singer Céu.
