Roena was one of the original members of El Gran Combo. He later became the leader of his own band, "Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound", arguably one of the best Latin salsa bands in Puerto Rico. Roena has also been a long-time member of the Fania All Stars, a salsa supergroup that has enjoyed worldwide success since the 1970s. In 1969, he went on to form a band by the name of "Roberto Roena y Su Apollo Sound", arguably one of the best Latin salsa bands in Puerto Rico. Roberto Roena’s new orchestra was baptized "El Apollo Sound" because the launch of NASA's Apollo 11 lunar mission coincided with the day of the band’s first rehearsal. The band eventually recorded hits such as Y Tu Loco Loco, Traicion, Que Se Sepa and Herencia Rumbero.
Roberto Roena has also been a long-time member of the Fania All Stars, the showcase group for the Fania Records label, which has enjoyed worldwide success since the 1970s. He recorded his signature song, "Coro Miyare", with the group; live performances of the song featured Roena playing the bongos and dancing with his uncle, legendary salsa dancer Aníbal Vázquez, in a choreographed section that almost always received standing ovations from the audience.
Mr. Roena took a giant step in the fusion of salsa with jazz, in the 1970s, by joining forces with African superstar (saxophonist) Manu Dibango of "Soul Makossa" fame.
Even without knowing how to read or write music, and probably because of it, Roena knew how to surround himself with excellent musicians and arrangers. "Apollo Sound" featured musicians from the ensemble of Tito Puente, "Cortijo y Su Combo", "El Gran Combo" and "Los Sunsets", among others. Some of the well renowned arrangers and composers who nourished his repertoire were Mario Ortiz, Bobby Valentín, Elias Lopés, Luis “Perico” Ortiz and Papo Lucca. With "Apollo Sound", Roberto introduced a “new” sound to salsa music by utilizing two trumpets, a trombone and a saxophone, a combination he took from the influence of the wind section of the rock group Blood, Sweat and Tears (in honor of which his band recorded a successful version of “Spinning Wheel”).
Roberto always considered variety as the key to success, leading him to include in his musical repertoire everything from go-go to the romantic, the same in English as in Spanish. Roberto Roena and his Apollo Sound’s first album produced hits of great impact like “Tú loco loco y yo tranquilo,” “El escapulario,” and “El sordo.” In fact, it was Apollo Sound who popularized the Bobby Capó classic, “Soñando con Puerto Rico.”
Apollo Sound recorded under the label International Records (a subsidiary of Fania) for a decade, in which they harvested successes like “Traición,” “Chotorro,” “Mi Desengaño,” “Fea,” “Marejada feliz,” “Cui cui,” and “El progreso,” among others. His popularity on the radio waves came accompanied with tours around the United States and Latin America.
Complementing the musicality of the salsa group was always the showmanship inherent in Roberto Roena. Dying his hair in new colors, playing percussion in his underwear and sporting a harness so he could “fly” around the stage of New York City's Madison Square Garden were some of the tricks that he used to stand out among the other groups in vogue. In fact, a noted journalist that followed Apollo Sound once remarked that they were “the first group in Puerto Rico with a system of psychedelic lights and go-go girls.”
Beginning in the 1980s, Roberto Roena and his Apollo Sound experienced a fade in popularity, reflecting a crisis that was sweeping through the salsa movement in general. Nevertheless, Roberto maintained himself by collaborating and recording independently with local groups. In 1990, Roena tried to revive the concept of Apollo Sound. He opened a concert for British rock singer Sting at the Coliseo Roberto Clemente, where he presented his hit salsa version of "Every Breath You Take" (with an amused Sting watching from the sidelines).
In 1994, he celebrated 25 years with his orchestra in a successful concert at the Centro de Bellas Artes in San Juan. This performance was recorded and released, validating his music for a new generation.

Te jugaste una carta y perdiste
tu te jugaste un billete y quedaste...
pero yo no...
(porque)
por que yo soy dichoso en el amor.
Te lo voy a jurar que perdiste
yo te lo voy a decir que quedaste
el que de miedo se muere lediña
le hace la sepultura camara'....
Yo te lo voy a jurar
(porque?!)
por la mama... De la primera persona que invento
el cigarrillo en filtro...
Que se fuema un Chita la mona de Tarsan.
Te lo voy a jurar que te vi
yo te lo voy a decir... Te conosco
ahi vistas que tumban coco, mata, jicotea a la
orilla del rio, que barbaridad...
Yo te lo vuelvo a jurar
(porque?!)
por la mama... De la primera persona que invento
el cigarrillo en filtro...
Que se fuema un Chita la mona de Tarsan.
(Coro)
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
llego el apollo ya usted lo ve, con salsa braba que es para usted merce...
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
Tu me jugaste una carta, yo te la bire al reve'mere...
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
Tu te me fuiste primero, pero ya yo te alcanse en el bembe...
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
Puerto Rico.. que rico... despues del plico...
perico...
(Coro)
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
Antes mirabas de frente, ahora miras al reve'merce..
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
cuando, cuando descubri mi carta con ella fue que gane el bembe...
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
si no pregunte en el Rivelsair. ahi en mar solo empaquete.. como triunfe...
(Te lo voy a jurar que tu perdiste y yo gane)
Yo te lo vuelvo a jurar
(porque?!)
por la madresita... De la primera persona que invento
el cigarrillo en filtro...
Que se fuema un Chita la mona de Tarsan.

Te jugaste una carta y perdiste, Tú te jugaste un billete y quedaste. Pero yo no. ¿Por qué? Porque yo soy dichoso en el amor. Te lo voy a jurar que perdiste Yo te lo voy a decir que quedaste. El que de miedo se muere lejía
Le hace la sepultura, camará.
Yo te lo voy a jurar. ¿Por quién? Por la mamá de la primera persona Que inventó el cigarrillo e′ filtro Que se fumo Chita la mona de Tarzán. Te lo voy a jurar que te vi, Yo te lo voy a decir, te conozco. Hay vista que tumban coco, Matan jicotea a la orilla del río que barbaridad. Yo te lo vuelvo a jurar. ¿Por quién? Por la mamá de la primera persona Que inventó el cigarrillo e' filtro Que se fumó Chita la mona de Tarzán. Te lo voy a jurar que tú perdiste y yo gané. Llegó el Apollo ya usted lo ve, Con salsa brava que es para usted merced. Tú me jugaste una carta yo te la viré al revé meré. Tú te me fuiste primero, pero ya yo te alcance en el bembé. Antes mirabas de frente ahora miras al revé merced. Cuando, cuando, cuando, cuando descubrí mi carta Con él A fue que gané el bembé. Si no pregunta en el Riverside, Que allí en marzo lo empaqueté como triunfé. Te lo vuelvo a jurar. ¿Por quién? Por la madrecita de la primera persona Que inventó el cigarrillo e′ filtro Que se fumó Chita la mona de Tarzán.
