Igo Chico (birth date unavailable) played tenor saxophone for Fela Kuti's afrobeat entourage Africa 70 during its formative period in the early 1970s.

He eventually left the band after a dispute with Kuti, who took up tenor saxophone himself to replace him.

Chico's swelling, lyrical, palm-wine-infused style greatly contrasted with Fela Kuti's more punctuated, machine-gun-like style on the instrument. His solos throughout the band's early 70's recordings, whose performance credits are not well-documented with their modern digital CD re-releases, are distinctly identifiable by those properties and by his growly tone on the instrument.
