Fans of international pop music have no business missing this gig from Latin Grammy-nominated, Puerto Rican songwriter Raquel Sofia. The artist sang backup for Juanes and Shakira before breaking out on her own on the strength of joyous tunes that are a playful mix of her influences and the jazz she studied at the University of Miami on a music scholarship. Stick around for the Ol’ Dirty Sundays old-school hip-hop, soul and funk party afterwards.
Raquel Sofia. Sun. Oct. 20, 7 p.m. $25. Crowbar, Ybor City. crowbarybor.com.
