"Milagro en el Congo / Venezia" is a single by the Spanish pop rock band Hombres G. It is one of their very first singles, released through the label, Lollipop, in 1983.[1]

The music on the single has been described as spontaneous and as being particularly influenced by the punk genre.[2] This was one of only two singles Hombres G released through Lollipop. Difficult financial circumstances forced the label to delay new releases from the band. In 1984, the group accepted an offer from the record label, Twins.[3] The song "Venezia" was re-recorded and an updated version included on their debut album, Hombres G.

In 2011, singer Miguel Bosé was quoted as saying, "La primera canción suya que escuché fue Milagro en el Congo. Me encantaron" (English: "The first song I heard by them was Milagro en el Congo. I really liked them.")[4]
