Before James Brown got on the good foot and invented funk music, there was nothing like it. Before Carlos Santana gave American pop music a Latin flavor, nothing sounded that way. Just as jazz, rock and rap music have all pushed the boundaries of their time, the New York-based band The Element is stepping in by taking elements of Funk, Hip Hop, Afro- Cuban, and Pop to produce a dynamic new sound. The Element consists of New York’s hottest young musicians, and is led by the world-class saxophonist and arranger Charlie Lagond. Collectively, the band members have honed their craft from their experience playing with various contemporary and legendary figures in music; everyone from Chet Baker, Chuck Mangione, and Kid Creole and the Coconuts, to Snoop Dogg, Q-Tip, Frankie Negron and Tito Puente, Jr.

The Element released their third album, "Future Proof" in early 2007
