Mirek Kemel (born 1963, Prague) is a Czech caricaturist and folk singer-songwriter who has supplied daily cartoon commentary to the country's leading newspapers since 1991 - from Lidové noviny and Hospodářské noviny to, since 2014, Právo. As a musician he has released five studio albums, winning the Anděl Award for folk with Mordyjé (2024). On stage he plays accordion, guitar and harmonica; his lyrics are quietly poetic and introspective, a deliberate contrast to the sharp wit of his drawings.
Mirek Kemel received the Anděl 2024 award on April 5, 2025 in the folk category for the album Mordyjé.
Czech Radio Vltava broadcast a recording of Mirek Kemel's concert from December 18, 2025 at the Dobeška Theatre in Prague.
The fifth studio album Mordyjé was released on October 25, 2024 on the Indies Scope label; the premiere took place on November 27 at the Akropolis Palace in Prague.
Three music videos were created for the album Mordyjé - Rusalka, Včelař Milan and Oči pod ledem.
