   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"

   "Royal Charlie"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR9hT0XHFxw.
   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.
