Presumably named after the famous painting Guernica by Pablo Picasso, this Japanese trio from the 1980s specialized in avant-garde music in a retro 1920's and 30's cabaret style. Their early recordings are primarily electronic (using synthesizers instead of traditional acoustic instruments) but their later works are performed by a live orchestra.
