After moving to Barcelona, the German-born Venezuelan brothers Haakon and Vytas Brenner formed the Vytas Brenner Quartet together with guitarist Toti Soler and drummer Jordi Barangé.{{cite web|url=https://lafonoteca.net/grupos/brenners-folk/|language=es|publisher=Lafonoteca|access-date=September 29, 2020|date=December 20, 2014|last=Macho|first=Roberto|title=Biografía de Brenner's Folk}} Soler and Barangé had previously been part of Els Xerracs, a band influenced by the Shadows that released its only EP in 1965.{{cite web|url=https://lafonoteca.net/grupos/els-xerracs/|title=Biografía de Els Xerracs|language=es|last=Macho|first=Roberto|publisher=Lafonoteca|date=April 4, 2017|access-date=October 6, 2020}} A neighbor of the Brenner brothers introduced the group to fifteen-year-old Jeanette, who played guitar and had written a few songs, among them "Cállate niña". Jeanette was born in London and spent her childhood in Los Angeles until her parents' 1962 divorce, at which point she moved with her Spanish mother to Barcelona,{{cite AV media |url=http://www.rtve.es/alacarta/videos/retrato-en-vivo/retrato-vivo-jeanette/3623324/|access-date=21 October 2017|people=Miguel de los Santos, Jeanette|date=25 August 1981|title=Retrato en vivo|medium=talk show|language=es|location=Spain|publisher=Televisión Española.

The band connected with Jeanette's sound and incorporated her as a singer, changing the group's name to Brenner's Folk, since they were no longer a quartet.{{cite web|url=https://www.ocweekly.com/spanish-singer-jeanette-came-straight-outta-la-habra-and-now-shes-coming-back-to-cali-8329270/|title=Spanish Singer Jeanette Came Straight Outta La Habra and Now She's Coming Back to Cali|last=Tristan|first=Frank John|access-date=September 29, 2020|date=August 17, 2017|work=OC Weekly}}{{cite web|url=http://lafonoteca.net/grupos/pic-nic|language=es|publisher=Lafonoteca|access-date=September 29, 2020|date=March 19, 2008|last=Macho|first=Roberto|title=Biografía de Pic-Nic}} She told OC Weekly in 2017: "They loved that kind of music, that kind of music over here in Spain was completely unknown. It was new, it was something people didn't hear of before." The band rehearsed in the large, wooden basement of an old pharmacy located on Via Laietana avenue, which they soundproofed with egg cartons.{{cite web|url=https://www.elperiodicoextremadura.com/noticias/caceres/jeanette-soy-mas-rebelde-ahora-cuando-hice-cancion_466900.html|language=Spanish|access-date=December 12, 2020|date=September 24, 2009|last=Ortiz|first=Carlos|title=Jeanette: "Soy más rebelde ahora que cuando hice la canción"|work=El Periódico Extremadura}}

In 1966, Brenner's Folk released their first and only extended play (EP) on the Nova Cançó record label Edigsa, which included four songs sung in Catalan: "Daurat oest", "Ho sé", "Clara lluna" and "Amor perdut".{{Cite AV media notes |title="Daurat oest" / "Ho sé" / "Clara lluna" / "Amor perdut"|others=Brenner's Folk|year=1966|first=Jordi|last=García-Soler|publisher=Edigsa|id=CM 133|location=Spain|language=ca|type=7-inch record}} The release featured cover art by designer Jordi Fornás, and liner notes written by Jordi García-Soler that declared the influence of American folk music in the group and explained more about the genre. The EP was not commercially successful but today is regarded as a rarity that is highly valued by record collectors.{{cite web|url=https://lafonoteca.net/disco/daurat-oest-ho-se-clara-lluna-amor-perdut|language=es|access-date=October 6, 2020|date=December 20, 2014|publisher=Lafonoteca|last=Macho|first=Roberto|title=Disco: Daurat Oest / Ho Sé / Clara Lluna / Amor Perdut}} It was remastered and reissued for the first time by Barcelonian label Wah Wah Records in 2018.{{cite AV media|author=Brenner's Folk|title=Daurat Oest|id=EPS 205|type=7-inch record|location=Spain|year=2018|orig-year=1966}}

Shortly after the release of their EP, the Brenner family decided to return to Venezuela and the rest of the band replaced them with Al Cárdenas and Isidoro "Doro" de Montaberry. This new iteration of Brenner's Folk was introduced to Madrid-based major label Hispavox thanks to Rafael Turia, a radioman at Barcelona's Radio Juventud that they had befriended and became their band manager.{{cite AV media |people=José María Íñigo, Jeanette|language=es|year=2008|title=La entrevista|work=Las canciones de tu vida, 1981 (1)|medium=DVD|publisher=Ediciones del Prado}} According to Lafonoteca's Roberto Macho, Turia was in charge of adapting the group's songs to Spanish. Pic-Nic recorded a demo at Radio Juventud's studios that greatly impressed the Hispavox's Rafael Trabucchelli, who thought it was an American group. Trabucchelli was a pioneer of music production in Spain and "one of the most influential figures in Spanish music between 1965 and 1975".{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2006/10/02/agenda/1159740007_850215.html|title=Rafael Trabuchelli, pionero de la producción musical en España|date=October 2, 2006|language=es|access-date=October 31, 2017|work=El País|last=Neira|first=Fernando}}{{cite web|url=http://www.elnortedecastilla.es/prensa/20061003/cultura/fallece-rafael-trabuchelli-pionero_20061003.html|language=es|title=Fallece Rafael Trabuchelli, pionero de la producción musical|date=October 3, 2006|access-date=November 10, 2017|work=El Norte de Castilla|publisher=Grupo Vocento}} While working for Hispavox, he developed the "characteristic lush sound" of the record label, which resulted from "sophisticated orchestral arrangements and studio wizardy". He is now described as the "Spanish Phil Spector", and his Wall of Sound production style is known as the "Torrelaguna Sound", named after the Torrelaguna Street in Madrid, where Hispavox Studios was based.{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=c2tu6oXxmkYC&pg=PA68|page=68|last1=Corona|first1=Ignacio|last2=Madrid|first2=Alejandro L.|title=Postnational Musical Identities: Cultural Production, Distribution, and Consumption in a Globalized Scenario|date=December 28, 2017|publisher=Lexington Books|isbn=978-0739118221}}

Trabucchelli flew the band to Madrid, signed them to Hispavox and changed their name to Pic-Nic for commercial reasons, as Brenner's Folk was too foreign of a name for Spanish audiences and the eponymous Brenners were no longer part of the group. "Cállate niña" was released as their debut single in November 1967.{{cite web|url=https://www.abc.es/archivo/periodicos/abc-madrid-19671120-57.html|language=es|access-date=October 6, 2020|title=Novedades de la semana|date=November 20, 1967|page=57|work=ABC}} To promote the release, Pic-Nic appeared at the TVE program Tele Ritmo in Madrid.{{cite magazine |last1=Revert| first1=Rafael |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=MygEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA82|page=82|access-date=October 2, 2020|title=From the Music Capitals of the World: Madrid|date=December 9, 1967|magazine=Billboard|volume=79|issue=49|issn=0006-2510|publisher=Nielsen Business Media}} The single was a big hit and charted at the top spot of the national charts for ten consecutive weeks,{{Cite AV media notes |title=Pic-Nic|year=2011|others=Pic-Nic|first=Vicente|last=Fabuel|publisher=ViNiLiSSSiMO.

Keyboardist Jordi Sabatés does not appear in any of Pic-Nic's releases, as he joined the band in its "second stage", although he did take part in later recording sessions that remain unreleased.{{cite AV media|url=https://www.rtve.es/alacarta/audios/discopolis/discopolis-9693-jordi-sabates-23-03-17/3954683/|title=Discópolis 9693 - Jordi Sabatés - 23/03/2017|date=March 23, 2017|access-date=October 5, 2020|language=es|work=Discópolis|publisher=Radio 3. RTVE|time=10:00|location=Madrid|people=José Miguel López, Jordi Sabatés}} He joined because of his close friendship with Toti Soler, with whom he shared musical tastes. Sabatés told Radio 3's José Miguel López in 2017: "We used to figure out João Gilberto's bossa novas that drove us crazy at that time, Oscar Peterson's solos ... We'd go down the street and sing Slam Stewart's solo on Lionel Hampton's "Stardust". Well, because of our friendship I began to play the organ in Pic-Nic. I have wonderful recordings of [the band] that are not like the cliché of "Cállate niña", but rather songs in English, similar to Peter, Paul and Mary but much more modern. It was a time that I remember with special happiness."

Pic-Nic disbanded abruptly after Jeanette's family forced her to leave the group, as the nuns from her school alerted her mother that she was frequently missing class in order to fulfill her band obligations in Madrid.{{cite web|url=https://www.elmundo.es/metropoli/musica/2020/03/15/5e6a11bcfc6c8329248b4762.html|title=Jeanette: "Sigo sintiendo mariposas en el estómago antes de cada concierto"|language=es|last=Nieto|first=Jessica|date=March 15, 2020|access-date=September 30, 2020|work=El Mundo}} The singer recalled in 2017: "she was like in a shock like 'oh my god, my daughter is number one' and of course I was traveling and singing all over Spain. My mother said 'oh no, no way, you have to study, you have to go to school' [so] she took me out of the group and she made me go to school .... In the end, there was no support from my mother. Not at all, she did not want me to sing." At the same time, Soler maintained a tense relationship with Hispavox executives, as he complained that they had no control over the songs. Soler was unhappy with Trabucchelli's arrangements, and wished the band had longer instrumental sections.

According to La Vanguardia, the success of "Cállate niña" was such that it ended up disuniting the group, amid the pressures from the record company that wanted to continue exploiting the same "gold mine" at all costs.{{cite web|url=http://hemeroteca.lavanguardia.com/preview/1988/12/16/pagina-62/33060258/pdf.html|language=es|work=La Vanguardia|date=December 16, 1988|access-date=October 5, 2020|page=62|last=Mallofré|first=Albert|title=Toti Soler presentará su último disco, "Supernova", en el Mercat de les Flors}} Despite the success that the group had during its existence, there were no great economic benefits for its members; one of the reasons may be that stated by Jeanette: "We signed a contract with hardly any advice. Some businessmen also made fun of us, perhaps because they saw us as children." Although Pic-Nic had already disbanded, Hispavox re-released their only studio album in 1969 under the name Cállate niña, since it was the title of their biggest hit.{{cite web|url=http://lafonoteca.net/disco/callate-nina-reedicion|title=Disco: Cállate, Niña (reedición)|language=es|last=Macho|first=Roberto|date=March 18, 2008|access-date=October 9, 2020|publisher=Lafonoteca}} They also altered the order of the songs, including four new tracks: "Palabras, sonrisas, promesas", "Música", "Soy feliz" and "Oí tu voz".

After Jeanette's departure, the rest of the group briefly and unsuccessfully attempted to continue playing without her. Their last period was characterized by their live performances in a nightclub on the outskirts of Barcelona called Tropical and the development of a more modern sound that foreshadowed the formation of Om. The progressive rock project was founded by Soler after Pic-Nic's disbandment, together with Jordi Sabatés, Doro Montaberry and other musicians. They began their career as a backing band for other artists, including María del Mar Bonet and Pau Riba, with whom they recorded the album Dioptria in 1970. The following year, Om released their self-titled debut studio album on label Edigsa.{{cite web|url=http://lafonoteca.net/grupos/om/|title=Biografía de Om|last=Macho|first=Roberto|language=es|publisher=Lafonoteca|date=November 1, 2010|access-date=October 8, 2020}} Months after Pic-Nic's disbandment, Jeanette graduated high school and soon moved with the Hungarian athlete Laszio Kristofe to Vienna, where they wed and had a daughter.{{cite web|url=https://lafonoteca.net/grupos/jeanette|title=Biografía de Jeanette|first=Julián|last=Molero|publisher=Lafonoteca|language=es|access-date=October 8, 2020|date=September 18, 2010}} She was then contacted by Trabucchelli with the proposal to launch her solo career and so returned to Spain in 1971, recording the Manuel Alejandro-penned "Soy rebelde". Jeanette initially refused to sing it, as she wanted to keep the folk style she had with Pic-Nic, but agreed at Hispavox's insistence. The single was a major hit across the Spanish-speaking world, redefining her career as a world-famous romantic balladist. Jeanette's 1973 debut studio album, Palabras, promesas, included three reworkings of songs originally recorded with Pic-Nic: "Amanecer", "No digas nada" and "Él es distinto a ti".{{Cite AV media|title=Palabras, promesas|people=Jeanette|year=1973|publisher=Hispavox|id=HHS 11-241|location=Spain|type=LP record}}

However, the group was not an out-and-out folk act, as producer and arranger Rafael Trabucchelli transformed their original folk ballads into something more unique. Music historian Javier de Castro noted that: "[Pic-Nic's] musical proposal was reminiscent of bands such as We Five, which mixed folk themes with electric instruments which made them, musically, closer to the Beatles than to Pete Seeger." Pic-Nic's music has also been considered mildly psychedelic.{{cite web|url=https://diumenge.ara.cat/diumenge/seves-viudes-recorden_1_1155670.html|language=Catalan|access-date=June 4, 2021|date=April 26, 2020|first=Jordi|last=Garrigós|title=Ovidi Montllor, les seves 'viudes' el recorden|work=Magazín Diumenge.

Pic-Nic's sound anticipated a style of "hippie pop" that proliferated in Spain in the 1970s, exemplified by groups such as Mi Generación, Solera, Cánovas, Adolfo, Rodrigo y Guzmán, Nuevos Horizontes con José y Manuel, Amigos, Tílburi and Agamenón, among several others.

The group's output consisted of very simple songs with "sweet" melodies that barely surpassed the three-minute mark, in which Trabucchelli's arrangements stand out. According to Juan Puchades, the band was characterized by its "vaporous languor". Jeanette's ethereal vocals have been noted for her unique timbre—considered "child-like"—and her strong foreign accent.{{cite web|url=https://www.elsoldemexico.com.mx/gossip/celebridades/intensamente-jeanette-genio-y-figura-musica-cantante-entretenimiento-6537792.html|title=Jeanette: genio y figura|access-date=June 4, 2021|date=March 30, 2021|language=Spanish|work=El Sol de México|first=Alejandro|last=Castro}} Pic-Nic's lyrics have been described as "preadolescent", and revolve around the theme of love, usually with a "melancholic touch". They are characterized by the use of metaphors, with sunrise and summer representing the beginning of love and, as a corollary, dusk and autumn evidencing the end of a relationship.{{cite web|url=http://lafonoteca.net/disco/pic-nic|access-date=October 8, 2020|publisher=Lafonoteca|date=March 14, 2008|last=Macho|first=Roberto|title=Disco: Pic-Nic|language=es}} Most of these songs were written by Jeanette with the aid of Rafael Turia, with a few compositions by Toti Soler and Vytas Brenner, as well as cover versions of other artists.{{cite AV media|title=Pic-Nic|year=1968|author=Pic-Nic|publisher=Hispavox|location=Spain|id=HHS 11-157|type=LP record}} "Cállate niña", a Jeanette composition based on the traditional lullaby "Hush, Little Baby", has been considered the song that best defines the spirit of Pic-Nic's music. According to Vicente Fabuel, the track "overflows with melody despite its simplicity, and its use of triangle, harmonica and a male backing vocal provide an absolutely ghostly quality."

In 2020, El Confidencial considered that: "more than half a century later, [Pic-Nic's songs] are still a mainstay of Hispanic folk." Efe Eme{{'}}s Juan Puchades described them as a precursor of the sound of the Spanish indie pop of the second half of the 1990s, especially that of San Sebastián and its surroundings.
