Priya Ragu at ZeyZey

Swiss singer-songwriter Priya Ragu has captivated audiences with her unique sound that pulls R&B, pop, rap, and Tamil folk, earning praise from Rolling Stone India, VH1 India, and BBC Radio 1. Last year, she released her debut album, Santhosam, earning praise from critics for her East-meets-West sounds that explore her cultural duality as the child of Sri Lankan refugees born in Switzerland. "With Santhosam, Ragu invites the world to join her on a spiritual quest to be free," wrote NME's Kayleigh Watson in her four-star review of the album.

The Marías at the Fillmore Miami Beach

Dive deep into your feelings with the Marías at the Fillmore Miami Beach. Named after the indie-pop band's sophomore album, the Submarine Tour mixes atmospheric beats and velvety vocals with themes of heartbreak and its offspring, self-discovery.

Fans can also expect favorites from the band's debut album, Cinema, and the Bad Bunny collaboration that launched them into the mainstream, "Otro Atardecer," to grace the show's setlist. 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, at the Fillmore Miami Beach, 1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach; 305-673-7300; fillmoremb.com.

City of God at Cosford Cinema

When Fernando Meirelles and Kátia Lund's epic crime drama City of God was released in 2002, it felt like it single-handedly announced the arrival of Brazilian cinema on the world stage.

It was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Director and Best Screenplay. Cosford Cinema will screen the film as part of its weekly Sunday screening series, in case you want to see it on the big screen. 1 p.m. Sunday, at Cosford Cinema, 5030 Brunson Dr., Memorial Bldg.

Her 2021 Vaccinated and Horny Tour nabbed her the win for "Comedy Act of 2021" at the People's Choice Awards. 7 p.m. Sunday, at the Hard Rock Live, 1 Seminole Way, Hollywood; 954-797-5531; myhrl.com.
