Comment: "Thanks a Lot, Marlene. I had also found that page on Wikipedia, but was not feeling very confident. At the end, the client decided to used Young Guard, and end of story.
Thanks!"

If the context is 60s music, maybe this is the term

Jovem Guarda (the Brazilian beat scene/generation)
Personally I do not think I would translate the term as it is distinctly Brazilian, and is used in other English writing.
To explain it in the wider cultural context, I would suggest equating it with the beat scene (exemplified by the Beatles) and the US beat generation.
So I would probably write: "Jovem Guarda (the Brazilian beat scene)" on first appearance and from then on, Jovem Guarda
The quote is from this article:
