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. Her first solo album, in 2001, was in fact titled "Para você querido Caé" (For you, dear Caetano) and was dedicated to the Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso.
Just after this album, her song "Agisce", written with the collaboration of Bungaro, won the Città di Recanati prize for best music and interpretation.
In 2003 she participated in the Sanremo Festival with the song "Lividi e fiori" and won the Mia Martini Critics Prize and the Alex Baroni prize for best interpretation.

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 song "Noite e luar", in Portuguese, became well known in Italy.
In 2006 she participated in the international festival of ethnical and contemporary music named "Suoni dell'altro mondo" (Sounds from another world) and also in the '"Premio Tenco".
In 2007 she released her third album, "Funambola", produced by Arto Lindsay and Patrick Dillett. 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. She also received the "Gold Mask Prize" for Popular Music Singer from the Bologna Conservatory.
In 2008 she toured all around Italy with Funambola and sang in a musical theatre piece by Massimo Carlotto.
She also performed with the pianist Alfonso Santimone, looking for electronic sonorities as well as rediscovering old Japanese songs, in this way showing all the eclecticism of her art.

She then flew to Morocco, in Casablanca, with the show "Popular music of the Mediterranean".
After coming back to Italy, she received the Giovanni Paisiello prize, a part of "Magna Grecia Awards", with the following motivation: "The musical event, the balance between the high pichtes 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".
Her song "Assenza" was then included in the album "Capo Verde terra d'amore vol. I", a compilation of songs of Cape Verde musicians, sung by them and Italian singers. The proceeds of this album are given to the UN food program for children.
