In 1969, which Piazolla wrote for his first quintet. Fugata is the first movement of three of Tangata (Sylphe and Ondine'), dedicated to the choreographer Oscar Araiz who had used his music in a recent Ana Itelman ballet in Buenos Aires for a never released documentary on the tango.

Sylphe is the spirit of the air, Ondine, the spirit of water; the two protectors in his life. The three movements are: Fugata, Soledad and Final. Piazzolla recorded Fugata with his first quintet in 1969 and his second quintet in 1989.
