Milanče Radosavljević plays Spens in Novi Sad on October 2 at 8pm, with Aleksandar Sofronijević's ensemble Majstori za dušu. The show is part of a tour the accordionist is running from Valjevo to Loznica.

Radosavljević was born in Barič near Obrenovac on October 12, 1944, which means he is playing this concert at 81. The story behind him is not the usual one: since childhood he has lived with partial paralysis in his fingers. He first saw an accordion at a neighbour's house in 1957, his parents bought him one, and after six or seven months of lessons he was already among the best students.

He inherited the music from his father, who played violin, flute and clarinet, and learned his first songs from him. The turning point was meeting the composer Aleksandar Stepić, after which he released his first single in 1975. He has written 44 songs. His biggest hits are "Dao bih ovo malo života" and "Žena plave kose", while his own favourite is "Anđelija, ustala je majka rano" - a song he composed himself.

He could have lived anywhere, but he stayed in Barič, where he built a house on money earned from music. On July 3, 2026, after more than six decades on stage, he played his first solo concert of his own at the Tašmajdan stadium in Belgrade. The Novi Sad date continues that run. Tickets are around 1,053 denars via tickets.rs.
