Los Elementos is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2012 in Madrid, Spain. The group is known for its unique approach to classical music, blending traditional Baroque and Classical music with contemporary elements to create a fresh and innovative sound. The ensemble was founded by four musicians: soprano Raquel Andueza, harpist Manuel Vilas, cellist Daniela Padrón, and percussionist David Mayoral. All four members had extensive experience in the classical music world, having performed with some of the most prestigious orchestras and ensembles in Europe. The group's name, Los Elementos, is derived from the title of a Baroque opera by Antonio Literes, which tells the story of the four elements - earth, air, fire, and water.

Since its founding, Los Elementos has become one of the most sought-after classical music ensembles in Europe, performing at major festivals and concert halls across the continent.
