It is marked by its usage not only of traditional instruments such as the {{wp|balafon}}, but also Euclean instruments like the {{wp|electric guitar}} and even {{wp|digital music software}} in contemporary pieces. Despite its origins in the traditional {{wp|Mandinka people|Bélé}} Houregic caste, Djeli pop was quickly adopted by singers of other ethnic backgrounds. Its first star was Honorine Uwineza, an ethnically {{wp|Banyarwanda|Barobyi}} singer who saw limited international success, but due to Mabifia's international isolation the genre remained highly local until its adoption by Garamburan artists in the 1970s. Thanks to the international connections of [[Mambiza|Sainte-Germaine]], Djeli pop was able to attain international success. While Garamburan Djeli pop was initially related to the independence struggle due to its Mabifian links, it eventually became associated with the [[Pan-Bahianism|Pan-Bahian movement]]. This has continued to the modern day, and despite the prevalence of diasporic artists the focus of Djeli pop remains an embrace of Bahian traditions and pride in Bahian culture. Its popularity is not constrained to the Bahian population and diaspora, as its association with {{wp|anti-imperialism}} and {{wp|urban culture}} has led to the rise of a subculture in several Euclean nations.
