Although it is instrumental album, there is an underlying concept through the project: how Argentina, historically a country of immigrants, became a country of emigrants during the economic crisis of 2001. All concepts, names and texts are by Max Masri. Max brought the main composition ideas and songs and also artistic production direction also the Electrotango sound of the album, while Diego played many of the instruments and co composed. The arrangements and programming were done by both Max and Diego.

The music of Emigrante is a balance between the electronically generated sounds and acoustic instruments (bandoneón, piano, and guitar). The album was produced and mixed by Max Masri.

Emigrante reached platinum sales in Argentina by 2006.

As of 2018, many of the songs included in this album are still played on multiple Argentine TV stations on a daily basis.

The album spawned the Video for the song Mente Frágil, a concept vídeo with LGBTQ main theme and received MTV Latino rotation.
