Dayirman is the first Azeri hip hop group. Based in Baku, Dayirman was founded in 1996 by four friends. The group's name is the Azeri word for "Windmill".[1] The group is 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]
