I want to know the answer to the following question:
What group in the US was popular?
All the background I'm provided with is that "An Italian musician, Carlo Curti, hastily started a musical ensemble after seeing the Figaro Spanish Students perform; his group of Italian born Americans called themselves the "Original Spanish Students," counting on the American public to not know the difference between the Spanish bandurrias and Italian mandolins.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
