One of the most enduring aspect of Goan life is the style of its people, and nowhere is it more noticeable than in music and the homes of the cultured Goan people.

It was obvious that blending the two would be a successful mix and this was how Heritage Jazz Yatra was born. Goans have been in the forefront in music for times immemorial and Goan musicians have done us proud whether it is in the jazz clubs of America or countless music arenas in India.

A couple of seasons ago, no one would have dared even suggest that jazz was popular in Goa. However, through sustained efforts of many jazz enthusiasts as well as jazz musicians, Jazz is today the flavor of the season and you will find jazz hubs in different locations all over Goa, much to the delight of many a Goan and his friends from all over the world as well as to the joy of having that extra jingle in the pockets of our talented musicians. Heritage Jazz has been the leader in creating all this through the love and affection of all concerned.

Internationally acclaimed jazz stars seek to perform at these shows and what better joy can be there than to host these geniuses? Let us all work together to make this exciting journey even more purposeful.
