Soprano Marni Nixon provided the singing voice for such legendary actresses as Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady" Natalie Wood in "West Side Story," and Deborah Kerr in "The King and I." Today, the ghost singer, now 76, talks about her behind-the-scenes career in Hollywood and Broadway, as detailed in her new autobiography, "I Could Have Sung All Night." Also: New York's growing Colombian expat community is giving way to a vibrant local music scene. La Cumbiamba eNeYé is one of best-known examples, a group that specializes in Afro-Colombian folk music. The group performs live music from their first CD, Marioneta," due out in December.
