Chicago has had a pretty thriving Jamaican music since the late 70's,
early 80's. Chromatic player, singer, and producer Charlie Organaire is
legendary in that music:

Here's a couple vids: "Rude Boy Charlie"

Also, the Chicago reggae band, "Blue Riddim" used a harp player:

Hope that helps a little. At the very least, Organaire deserves a
mention on our list.
