Twelve Andamanese Songs is a book written by Benjamin Putnam Kurtz in 1922. The book contains twelve songs that were collected from the Andamanese people, who are indigenous to the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. The songs are transcribed in the Andamanese language, as well as in English translation. The book provides a unique insight into the culture and music of the Andamanese people, who have a rich history of traditional music and dance. Each song is accompanied by a brief description of its meaning and significance within the Andamanese culture. Kurtz, who was an American missionary, spent several years living among the Andamanese people and studying their language and culture. His work in preserving and documenting their music is considered to be an important contribution to the field of ethnomusicology. Overall, Twelve Andamanese Songs is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the music and culture of the Andamanese people, as well as for scholars and researchers in the field of ethnomusicology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
