Grupo Rumo is a Brazilian musical band started in 1974.

Rumo was formed in São Paulo by students, most of them from the University of São Paulo, and the majority of them from that univerity's School of Communication and Arts, led by Luiz Tatit.

The group began to produce songs with a different treatment in terms of composition and arrangement, such as the role of the intonations of everyday speech, a "spoken singing" in the compositions and the role of the instrumentation enhancing the main line of the singing in the arrangements.

In 1979, Ná Ozzetti joins the band

With the emergence of the so-called Vanguarda Paulistana, they managed to record their first two LPs independently in 1981, called Rumo (their own songs) and Rumo aos Antigos (with reinterpretations of lesser-known songs by authors from the past, such as Noel Rosa, Lamartine Babo, Sinhô, among others).
