President Hugo Chavez controls all media in Venezuela, so radio stations that once aired indie-rock are a thing of the past. La Vida Boheme pays tribute to Radio Capital, a station that once ruled the rock airwaves, but now only airs government approved programming. Henry D’Arthenay is the lead singer of the Caracas-based band. He speaks to anchor Lisa Mullins about Radio Capital and other tracks on their new album, “Nuestra.”
