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 fuses hip-hop with elements of traditional Meykhana poetry.[2]
In 2010 Dayirman produced the video "Justice to Khojaly" with Toni Blackman to commemorate the victims of the Khojaly massacre.[3]
