Members: Roy Chicago

Roy Chicago and his Rhythm Dandies played at Central Hotel, Ibadan Nigeria. The band disbanded in 1959 with members all going their separate ways. Chicago found his way to Lagos where he eventually made a breakthrough in 1960 with his outstanding performance at the independence celebrations along with Victor Olaiya.
Chicago came into the limelight with his beautiful rendition of calypso music added to Highlife that was rooted in Yoruba traditional culture with the introduction of the talking drum as an integral part of the rhythm section.
