Nantenin Keïta (born 5 November 1984 in Bamako) is a French, female athlete who competes mainly in Paralympic category-T13 sprint events. She is the daughter of the Malian musician Salif Keita[1] and thus a direct descendant of the founder of the Mali Empire, Sundiata Keita.[2] Like her father, she was born with albinism, and is visually impaired.
