A joyful, musical and tasty takeover! Happy Pinoy is a loose collective of Filipinos living in Iceland exploring artistic expression beyond karaoke. Pinoy is the shortened version of Filipino and used to refer to people of Filipino descent (collectively Pinoy but can become Pinay if specifically female).
