He meets Djeliba Kouyate a griot who wants to tell the young Keita the origin of his name being related to Sundjata Keita. Kouyate begins his history with the myth of Mandeng creation As all living beings gather on the newly formed Earth a person declares to the masses that he wants to be their king. The old griot tells how Keita’s family descended from the buffalo, the blackbirds still look at him, and how people have roots that lie at the bottom of the earth.[2]

Reception
Keïta! received the Best First Film Prize from the Panafrican Film and Television Festival of Ouagadougou (Fespaco) and was awarded the Junior Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.[1] The New York Times praised the film, claiming it "succeeds admirably in keeping... history alive."[5] In a 1995 interview, Kouyate reflected on the experience and commenting on traditional society, saying:
Sometimes when you don't know where you're heading, you have to return to where you came from in order to think things over before continuing your journey. Today, with all the things happening to her, Africa has trouble finding which direction to take—modernity, tradition, or some other road. We are not really capable of digesting all these things. We don't know who we are, and we don't know where we are going. We are between two things. Between our traditions and our modernity.[6]
