Aleksandar Vuksanović (Serbian Cyrillic: Александар Вуксановић), known by his stage name Aca Lukas (born on 3 November 1968), is a Serbian folk singer. He started performing various music genres, from jazz to Gypsy music. Aca started mixing them into potpourris that became his trademark in years to come. After performing at the clubs Hogar and Lukas, he moved on to the next stage by playing with rock singer Viktorija. Then he started a solo career. His first big hit was the song "Pesma od bola". Then he continued with other hits "Kafana na Balkanu", "Bele ruže" and many more. In 2003, he was arrested in a police action "Sablja" for possession of a non-reported gun. He was having drug and gambling problems that caused him to be withdrawn from the scene for two years.
He made a comeback in 2006. He won first prize on "II Axel Grand Festival" in 2008. with "Upali svetlo". His first concert at Belgrade Arena was on 3 November 2008. He has since had another two concerts in Belgrade Arena on 3–4 November 2010.
Aca recorded his first album in 1995 after his success with "Kuda idu ljudi kao ja", which was a hit. In that mix of pop, rock and folk music, Aleksandar Radulović Futa and Marina Tucaković borrowed music from Greece and Turkey and next year they made him a hit-album, with a song called "Pesma od bola" becoming the hit of the year, along with other hits like for example "Ja zivim sam", "Nije ti ovo Amerika".
In 1999, he performed at his first concert in Belgrade Hala Pionir in front of around 10,000 young people. After the tour around the country, stadium Tasmajdan Sports Centre is also conquered. In 2002, Aca published one of his best album so far called "Nesto Protiv Bolova" with hit songs "Koma", "Nešto Protiv Bolova", "Suncokreti". After he spent four months in jail, Aca returned with a new hit album Istina je da te lazem. He returned to Serbia in 2006 performing at "Melos dani Estrade" in Čačak as "the star of the night". His comeback album was called Jagnje Moje with different authors but also with songs "Udari Prva" and "Jagnje Moje".
