The Heritage Jazz Yatras was again held at Gonsalves Mansion on the 19th of December 2004 with the exciting troupe of funk jazz exponent Tala Faral taking the crowd by storm. Tala, the diminutive saxophonist who is originally from Madagascar , settled for a long time in India and now back in the US of A, kept the crowd on its feet with the foot-stomping jazz funk and jazz rock music he is so famous for. The show was sponsored by State Bank of India who were advertising their much sought after loan scheme, The Heritage LoanScheme, which is designed to finance the purchase and refurbishment of old heritage homes in Goa. Ramesh Kumar, Chief General Manager of State Bank of India went out of his way to ensure that the show was the show piece of the bank and without his help, Heritage Jazz Yatra would not have been the premier show it is today.
