Karibu is a studio album by Beninese guitarist Lionel Loueke. Blue Note released the album on 25 March 2008. This is the Loueke's first album for Blue Note.
John L. Walters of The Guardian wrote: "Karibu is Loueke's first major-label album after several indie recordings, yet it isn't the classic his admirers hoped for; perhaps he needs a producer to pull together all those diverse threads. Fortunately, there are many details to treasure, such as a delicious reading of Skylark, and the asymmetric rhythms of Benny's Tune. Not to mention a version of Coltrane's Naima - featuring the magnificent Wayne Shorter - that is worth the price of the album alone."
