We describe in this paper a Harmony Search (HS) Algorithm and their areas of application, variants and comparison with other existing algorithms. HS is a metaheuristic music inspired algorithm used to solve a wide range of optimization problems applied to different areas, which has been very successful as indicated by the literature. A comparison with genetic algorithms was performed to evaluate the advantages of HS.
