History

[ [http://www.tvazteca.com/entretenimiento/discodeoro/participantes/lila.shtml History] ]

Her Beginning

Born in Mexico City she first started her artistic life in 1966 as part of the group called "Los Peg", whose other members included Jose Jose (base player) and her sister Gilda Deneken (vocalist). Los Peg were known for interpreting Jazz and Bossa Nova music styles. This style would inevitably become her first style of music. After incorporating other music genres such as Soul, Music Rock and others, she decides to embark on her first international tour and be joined by her sister Gilda. Touring under the name "Las Deneken" the 3 month tour soon turned into a full year due to their great success. Upon her return, in 1972 she joins the musical group "Tabasco" with her other sister Lupita Deneken and for the first time in history the three sisters sing together.

Soon after "Tabasco" is discovered by manager Tony De Marco who takes them on a tour across the United States of America. Due to its instant success the tour extends for a period of several years. It is precisely during this time that she decides to separate herself from the group. It is only after she becomes a solo artist that she is recognized and called "La numero Uno" "or "The Number One".

Her career as a solo artist

In 1978 she attends the OTI festival obtaining 2nd place with the song "Cuando Pienso en Ti" written by Nacho Mendez and 1st place for the best interpreter of the OTI festival. She also is granted with the "premio a la Revelacion", which is granted to her again in 1980 when she is considered for the second time the best interpreter of the OTI festival and winning 2nd place with the song "Se solicita una aventura" written by Roberto Cantoral. She is best known, however, for the song "Por Cobardia", composed by Bebu Silvetti; it is this song that puts her on the top of every playlist at that time.

In 1981 she embarks on a second International tour, only this time as a solo artist. She becomes the first and only female Latin artist to perform in the world recognized "Sporting Club" of Monaco in Monte-Carlo. Upon her return back to Mexico she continued to amaze and sell-out concerts with her famous Las Vegas style shows.

Early Retirement

In the height of her career, her desire to focus on her role as a wife and mother inevitably drives her to retire from the show business. During this time of absence she develops her artistic influence through her paintings and writings of musicals, plays and short stories.

Recent Comeback

In 2001, she decides to regain her career as singer and performs 4 concerts in the "Foro Cultural Coyoacanense Hugo Arguelles", where she debuts a newer style as music as well as performing some of her best known songs.

In October 2001 she contracts the "Ramiro Jimenez" theater in Mexico City where she ratifies her success on stage showing the public once again her quality as an artist.

In 2002 she was named "Madrina de Honor" in the "Festival del Dia Mundial del Mariachi".

Presently

Nowadays she is presenting her own show and also a show with Ana Cirré and Arianna called: "Ellas las Divas" promoted by [http://artistas.ecorporativo.com/ Enlace Corporativo] , a Mexican consulting firm. Lila Deneken is promoting her new album where she sings along with her two partners (Ana Cirré and Arianna) tributing Rocio Durcal and Rocio Jurado, making this a sweet loving compilation of hits. Soon Lila Deneken will present her new Mexican song material (mid-September). [ [http://artistas.ecorporativo.com/lila.html Enlace Corporativo] ]
