This paper analyzes the suitability of using the Western Fugal Techniques in arranging traditional Luhya folk songs. The study, which forms the basis of this paper, involved carrying out interviews with composers to establish their background in music and their approach to arrangement of Luhya tunes. The findings indicated that the use of Western techniques, in the case of this study, a figure, on arrangement of African tunes distorted them. This called for the need to use original African Contrapuntal Techniques to arrange the Luhya traditional folk tunes and to help avert the misconstructions brought about by entirely using the Western Fugal Techniques.
