Ni Yao De Ai by Penny Tai is a song filled with nostalgia, especially for fans of Meteor Garden. This song brings back memories of Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si’s love story, making it an emotional piece to cover on kalimba. With its soft yet expressive melody, the kalimba gives the song a gentle and heartfelt touch.
Playing this on kalimba felt extra special, knowing how much Meteor Garden means to so many people. Sadly, Barbie Hsu’s portrayal of Shan Cai will always be remembered, and this cover is my little tribute to the impact her character had on us.
If you’d like to relive the Meteor Garden magic in a new way, listen to my kalimba cover on YouTube. Watch it here and let me know your thoughts!
