Dayirman (Azerbaijani: Dəyirman) was the first Azerbaijani hip hop group, based in Baku and was founded in 1996 by four friends. The word Dayirman means windmill in Azerbaijani language.[1] The group was very popular in Azerbaijan for their nationalist lyrics,[2] fusing hip-hop with elements of traditional Meykhana poetry.[3]
In 2010 Dayirman produced the video "Justice to Khojaly" with Toni Blackman to commemorate the victims of the Khojaly massacre.[4]
