Шаблон:Short description El Wali was a Western Saharan folk music group who recorded an album, Tiris, in 1994. Their lyrics are "politically charged" and call for independence for the Sahrawi people;[1] the album was described as "a call to arms—with national anthems, celebrations of political anniversaries, and religious pleas for peace".[2] According to Sahel Sounds, the American label that reissued the album, it was recorded in Belgium and released in a limited run for the Belgian OXFAM.[2] The band's music first appeared anonymously as "Polisario" on a 2012 compilation from the Sahel Sounds label, Music from Saharan Cellphones, before Tiris was released in 2019.[3]

Ammar Kalia, writing for The Guardian, characterized the music as "80s synth-funk textures and propulsive, danceable rhythms".[1] A reviewer for Spex called Tiris a "soundtrack for the socialist movement in the Western Sahara".[4]
