ELAN has earned recognition as being the first Mexican band to successfully release albums sung

entirely in the English language. Originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, ELAN was formed in 1996

guitarist and producer Jan Carlo “El Viking” DeFan, later joined by their cousin, drummer Michel

"Cheech"Bitar DeFan, bass player Carlos “Charlie” Padilla Maqueo, and rhythm guitar auricio “El

Pato” Lopez.

ELAN is known for their 60’s and 70’s style rock music marked with philosophical lyrics and sonic

experimentation as well as their innovative and elaborate live shows. Being one of Latin America’s

most critically acclaimed and commercially successful independent latino bands ELAN has sold

more than two million albums worldwide and has recorded seven albums to date.
