Get ready, San Antonio! The city is buzzing with excitement as the San Antonio Coffee Festival gears up to welcome the incredibly talented Sgt. Remo, a.k.a. the man who brings reggae vibes alive! On February 8, 2025, at HemisFair Park, Sgt. Remo is set to kick off the festival with an electrifying performance starting at 10 a.m.. This is an event you certainly won’t want to miss!
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.
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.
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.
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*.
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.
But that’s not all! You can catch him hosting “Reggae Sessions Radio” on 90.1 KSYM-FM every Friday night from 7-9 p.m., where he shares his love for reggae with listeners. He’s also putting together a brand-new reggae show for KPSARadio.com. And if you think he’s just about music, think again! He runs a screen printing business and has his own custom sound system, ensuring he stays busy and connected to the local culture.
The San Antonio Coffee Festival promises to be a delightful experience filled with cups of steaming coffee, yummy treats, and incredible performances. Not to mention, the event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with ticket prices ranging between $15 to $40. So grab your friends and family, head to HemisFair Park, and enjoy a fantastic day of music, coffee, and community!
