Robert Křesťan (born 1958) is a Czech singer, multi-instrumentalist, lyricist and translator, best known as the frontman of Druhá tráva, which he co-founded in 1991 with banjo player Luboš Malina after both left the Brno band Poutníci. The group has released over 21 albums in the Czech Republic and the United States, winning the Anděl Award in the Folk & Country category multiple times. Křesťan is widely regarded for his distinctive voice and poetically inventive songwriting; in 2021 he was inducted into the Anděl Hall of Fame.

As the first single from the upcoming album, the band released the song Chryzantéma, featuring American Hammond organist Al Gamble; the banjo for the recording was lent by Béla Fleck.
