A Familiar Face at the Festival
Sgt. Remo isn’t a stranger to the Coffee Festival. In fact, he has graced the event with his musical presence several times in the past. With roots tracing back to Juarez, Mexico, this 48-year-old singer and bandleader has become a beloved figure in the San Antonio music scene. His lively performances have a way of pulling everyone into a party atmosphere that envelopes the audience in positive energy.
From Fan to Performer
The journey to becoming a reggae artist wasn’t something Sgt. Remo planned out from the start. It all began in high school, where he was introduced to reggae music by friends. The catchy tunes and groovy beats of ’80s dancehall artists like Shabba Ranks and Buju Banton sparked a fire in him that has never died out. What makes his music unique is the combination of toasting—which is similar to rapping—and the traditional sounds of rocksteady and roots reggae that his band, The Vibratones, masterfully delivers.
Meet the Vibratones
Speaking of The Vibratones, this talented ensemble features some of the finest reggae musicians in San Antonio, including none other than Sgt. Remo’s own son! Talk about family talent! His son plays both the trumpet and trombone, adding a special touch to the band’s signature sound.
A Musical Evolution
Sgt. Remo’s evolution as an artist is truly inspiring. After serving in the U.S. Navy and retiring in 2014, he moved to San Antonio and dove headfirst into the local music scene. Within a year, he was already performing regularly, showcasing his journey of transforming from a reggae fan to a sought-after performer. Initially, he focused on dancehall and hip-hop, but his style blossomed into something more significant after becoming a father. Now, his music illustrates respect and spirituality, aiming to uplift listeners and serve *not just as entertainment, but as a means to spread positivity*.
International Spotlight
Sgt. Remo isn’t just known locally; he has made waves internationally! He’s taken his music to stages in Mexico, Colombia, and recently Chile, sharing his sweet sounds with reggae lovers around the world. Not only does he perform, but he also produces music! As the executive producer for “Reggae SoulJahs Worldwide,” a compilation series, he helps shine a spotlight on reggae talent globally. Plus, his YouTube channel features his music creations and performances, reaching even more fans.
More Than Just Music

He’s also putting together a brand-new reggae show for KPSARadio.com. And if you think he’s just about music, think again!
