Biography

Japanese avant-garde trio of singer Jun Togawa, composer Koji Ueno and lyricist Keiichi Ohta, formed in 1981 and named after the *Pablo Picasso* painting. Guernica recreated interwar European cabaret and chanson through a Showa-era lens, first with synthesizers on 'Kaiz艒 e no yakud艒' (1982), produced by *Haruomi Hosono* for #Yen Records#, then with a live orchestra on 'Shinseiki e no unga' (1988) and 'Denris艒 kara no manazashi' (1989).
