Radio Caracas Radio is a Venezuelan radio station. It is owned by Empresas 1BC, a Venezuelan private media corporation.
In 1930, Edgar J. Anzola, who was employed in an electronics business named Almacén Americano, brought to his employer, William Henry Phelps, his idea to mount a radio station in Caracas. Phelps already possessed the RCA Victor receptors, discs and equipment players, Underwood typewriters, Frigidaire refrigerators, Delco power plants, and Ford cars and trucks. Enthusiastic about Anzola's idea, Phelps installed a transmitter exclusively for commercial purposes. Ricardo Espina and technical manager Alberto López joined Phelps and Anzola in establishing a radio station.
After hard work, everything was ready for Broadcasting Caracas, as the station was originally called, to go on the air. Careful tests were performed to make sure that all the equipment operated fully. Two of these tests had unique importance. One of them, which was held on 9 December 1930 and took place in the Plaza del Teatro Nacional during the dedication of the statue of Henry Clay, was the first remote transmission in Venezuela. That date marked the first broadcast of the new radio station which operated with a transmitter that had the capacity of only 100 kilowatts. The next day, from the ballroom of the La Guaira Country Club, the performances of a band from the North American cruise ship "USS Northampton" was aired in light of their visit to the port city. These broadcasts excited the residents of Caracas and increased the sales of radio appliances. The station began airing more commercial propaganda, which was the intention of its founders.

Caracas (Spanish pronunciation: [kaˈɾakas]), officially Santiago de León de Caracas, is the capital, the center of the Greater Caracas Area, and the largest city of Venezuela. Caracas is located along the Guaire River in the northern part of the country, following the contours of the narrow Caracas Valley on the Venezuelan coastal mountain range (Cordillera de la Costa). Terrain suitable for building lies between 760 and 910 m (2,490 and 2,990 ft) above sea level. The valley is close to the Caribbean Sea, separated from the coast by a steep 2,200 m (7,200 ft) high mountain range, Cerro El Ávila; to the south there are more hills and mountains.
The Metropolitan District of Caracas is made up of five municipalities: Libertador Municipality which is the only administrative division of the Venezuelan Capital District, and four other municipalities, which are within in Miranda State: Chacao, Baruta, Sucre, and El Hatillo. Libertador holds many of the government buildings and is the Capital District (Distrito Capital). The Distrito Capital had a population of 2,013,366 as of 2011, while the Metropolitan District of Caracas was estimated at 3,273,863 as of (2013). The Metropolitan Region of Caracas has an estimated population of 5,243,301.
Caracas is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson, his third recording for the Milestone label, featuring Donaldson with Lonnie Smith, Peter Bernstein, Kenny Washington, and Ralph Dorsey.
The album was awarded 4 stars in an Allmusic review by Alex Henderson who states "Caracas was recorded in 1993, but it sounds like it could have been recorded 30 years earlier. Regardless, this CD is excellent... Is Caracas essential? Not quite, but it's still a highly rewarding album that will please die-hard soul-jazz enthusiasts".

What's that playing on the radio? On the radio, on the radio
I hear the music blasting from across the hall
It drives me crazy I can't take it anymore
Until it stops I'll keep banging on your wall
What's that playing on the radio?
I'm reaching out to you but you don't hear my call
I'm aggravated I can't take it anymore
If you don't answer me I'll break this fuckin' door
What's that playing on the radio?
Your fuckin' music's got me edged against the wall
I've had enough of it I can't take it anymore
I'm feeling nauseous and my ears are getting sore
What's that playing on the radio?
Can't you hear my aggravation?
Full of anger and frustration
Blown my fuse I'm so impatient
Tired of this situation
I just want an explanation
What is with your generation?
Tell me what's your motivation
