"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]

Contents

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]
