Aca Lukas in Ohrid on August 3 - the Serbian folk giant at the Egoist Open Air stage

Aca Lukas, one of the best-known names of the Serbian folk scene, comes to Ohrid on August 3 to the Egoist Open Air stage. After decades at the top and endless sold-out concerts across the region, the audience by Lake Ohrid will get an evening rarely missed - a man whose voice and repertoire the whole former Yugoslavia knows by heart.

Aleksandar Vuksanović, known as Aca Lukas, has been building his career since the nineties and has since become synonymous with Serbian pop-folk in its rawest form. Hits like "Pusti, pusti modo", "Lična karta", "Život uživo" and "Pola mene, pola tebe" have been sung for years at every celebration from Vranje to Zagreb. What sets him apart from other pop-folk names is the authentic, raspy colour of his voice and a stage performance in which nothing is polished for the cameras - a Lukas concert is exactly what the audience expects, without a filter.

At Egoist Open Air, a summer stage set right by the shore, Lukas will mix the biggest hits from four decades of his career with newer material. Concerts like this usually last for hours and turn into collective singing under the open sky - a format that always works in the Balkans, and even more powerfully in Ohrid in August.

Tickets cost 1,000 denars and are available via karti.com.mk. The concert is part of Egoist's summer programme in Ohrid, with the start scheduled for the evening hours, when temperatures by the lake become more bearable.
