RE: [Harp-L] Reggae Music

[Ryan Hartt <rhartt1234@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Roy Richards and Charlie Organaire are probably the two biggest harmonica players in Jamaican music. Harmonica was pretty big in Ska and Rocksteady, but is much less common in Reggae. A lot of what people think is harmonica is actually melodica.
Here's some more info, but I don't think the download links work anymore.

In a little self promotion here is my own Ska tune.
