A surgeon at the Dénia Hospital becomes a viral musician "because" of his daughter

Dr. José Mallent, Head of Plastic Surgery of the Dénia Health Department, alternates the scalpel with the microphone and forms, together with the ophthalmologist Honorio Barranco, Sunken Screens; a band that gives new life to movie soundtracks like Lost Highway y Grease, and strings like The Sopranos, The Wire y Peaky Blinders.

Now Dr. Mallent has now gone viral in his role as a musician. It all happened as a result of a TikTok entry published by his daughter Pilar, which has achieved more than 18 million views; which has made them go from a hundred monthly listeners to 250.000 on Spotify and the 400 reproductions they had on YouTube of their song goodbye horsesThey already have more than 33.000.

Sunken Screens have been placed at the top of the playlists of online platforms in countries like Chile and Mexico, with the songs I'm Deranged, tribute to David Bowie, and Cold Little Heartby Michael Kiwanuka.

Mallent and Barranco met in the operating rooms of the Hospital de la Ribera while listening to music. Mallent heard some chords from a Steely Dan song and Honorio another by João Gilberto. From there they became inseparable and Bordes Libres was born, a band made up exclusively of doctors. Precisely, the name of the group refers to tumors without malignant cells. The band is still active today, but without its two founding members.
